An unusual case of spermatocytic seminoma in 80 year-old-patient: A case report

INTRODUCTION: and importance: Testicular tumors represent 1% of human malignant tumors. Spermatocytic seminoma (SS) is a rare tumor, representing less than 2% of testicular cancers. This Tumor is an uncommon neoplasm first described by Masson in 1946 and rarely occurs before the fifth decade. Around...

description INTRODUCTION: and importance: Testicular tumors represent 1% of human malignant tumors. Spermatocytic seminoma (SS) is a rare tumor, representing less than 2% of testicular cancers. This Tumor is an uncommon neoplasm first described by Masson in 1946 and rarely occurs before the fifth decade. Around 200 cases of Spermatocytic seminoma have been reported in the literature CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of Spermatocytic seminoma in 80 years old men who presented with a right testis mass. Scrotal ultrasonography revealed a well-defined 62 × 32 × 27 mm right testicular solid tumor with heterogeneous echogenicity associated with a small hydrocele. A right inguinal orchiectomy was performed with primary control of the spermatic cord. Following the operation, the patient was followed closely without any adjuvant therapy and was in good condition with no evidence of metastasis 12 months after the operation. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The spermatocyte seminoma described by Masson in 1946, represents an entity anatomy-clinical which, due to its morphological and biological properties particular, deserves to be distinguished from the classic variety of testicular seminomas. It is an uncommon tumor and, represents less than 1% of all patients and 4.4% of stage I. Homolateral orchiectomy inguinal with upper spermatic cord ligature represented the standard treatment. CONCLUSION: Spermatocytic seminoma is a rare tumor, found mainly in elderly men. It is original by its histological characteristics and its good prognosis.
