Testicular embryonal cell carcinoma is a germ cell tumor that can be poorly differentiated and quite aggressive. It is a fairly common carcinoma of the testis but is uncommonly found coexisting with the rare inflammatory process of granulomatous orchitis. This case study describes a male in his early 30s diagnosed with embryonal carcinoma of the right testis combined with granulomatous orchitis that was initially found with sonography. The main treatment options are an orchiectomy or chemotherapy. The patient in this case was treated with orchiectomy before the cancer could metastasize to distant organs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
