Primary Carcinoid Tumor of the Testis: Case Report

Carcinoid tumors conform less than 1% of all testicular tumors and most of them are neuroendocrine tumors which are primarily seen in testes. They are in the form of testicular metastasis from other organs. Carcinoid tumors may occur from differentiation of malignant teratomas. The main distinguishi...

description Carcinoid tumors conform less than 1% of all testicular tumors and most of them are neuroendocrine tumors which are primarily seen in testes. They are in the form of testicular metastasis from other organs. Carcinoid tumors may occur from differentiation of malignant teratomas. The main distinguishing feature of carcinoid tumors from other germ tumors is that they can be seen in all age groups. Histopathologically they have been described in two forms: well-differentiated and moderately differentiated. We aimed to discuss about a primary testicular carcinoid tumor in a 29 year old male patient.
