“…The absence of large uniform cells with dis-cohesion mixed with lymphocytes helps distinguish seminoma, the most common neoplasm of the testis [ 4 ]. However, metastatic adenocarcinoma and primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder might be indistinguishable because they are fairly similar to their counterparts in organs such as the stomach, colon, and prostate [ 3 , 5 ]. When encountered with this diagnostic challenge, physicians can use certain clinical and morphological characteristics to differentiate metastatic lesions.…”

“…Adenomatoid tumors are rare but account for about 30% of paratesticular tumors. It is most frequently located in the epididymis, less frequently in the spermatic cord, ejaculatory duct, testis parenchyma, prostate and adrenal gland (4) . It is common in 3 rd -4 th decades.…”

“…Eosinophilic cytoplasm and cords are important in the differential diagnosis of Sertoli cell and Leydig cell tumors. These tumors show immunoreactivity with mesothelial markers such as Calretinin and D2-40 (4,5) . One of our cases was adenomatoid tumor consisting of cuboidal cells, forming solid groups and cords.…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the types of tumors seen in the paratesticular region, to discuss the most prominent histopathological features and differential diagnoses of rare tumors among our cases as well as to compare the findings with the literatüre. Method: The patients operated in Bezmialem Vakıf University for inguinal hernia and paratesticular tumor between 2014-2019 and diagnosed as paratesticular tumor were added to our study. Diagnosis, clinical findings and demographic data of the cases were recorded. Results: We had a series of 21 paratesticular tumors with a mean age of 58.8 years. The most common; benign tumor was lipoma and malignant tumor was liposarcoma. Hemangioma, ovarian type serous carcinoma and mesothelioma were also rarely seen in the literature. Conclusion: Paratesticular tumors are composed of tumors originating from rete testis, epididymis and tunica vaginalis, soft tissue tumors and metastatic tumors. The most common epithelial tumors are adenomatoid tumors. The most common benign and malignant mesenchymal tumors are lipoma and liposarcoma, respectively. Histomorphological appearance may be difficult especially in malignant epithelial tumors. Although immunohistochemical markers are helpful in differentiation, the transition between the lesion and non-neoplastic epithelium is important. Paratesticular tumors are quite rare. For this reason, at this location both primary tumors-especially malignant-and metastasis can be challenging. They should be kept in mind for differential diagnosis.

“…The majority of symptoms in patients are a scrotal mass with diffuse enlargement of the testis. However, it is difficult to make a differential diagnosis with other testicular lesions, as rete testis adenocarcinoma also invariably presents with epididymitis, hydrocele, inflammatory lumps, or inguinal hernia (6,7). This patient also complained of the same thing with significant testicular enlargement within a period of 3 months.…”

“…Although rare, neoplasms arise and typically are both benign cystadenoma or malignant cystadenocarcinoma (5). Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is a rare, highly aggressive tumor originating from the non-spermatogenic epithelium of the intratesticular excretory ducts (6). About 72 cases reported in the English language literature since its first description by Feek and Hunter in 1945.…”

Background: Adenocarcinoma of rete testis is an extremely rare intra-scrotal extra-testicular neoplasm, this tumor usually occurs in men over 60 years of age but there are a few cases of younger patients described as well, has a wide age range of 8-91 years. Case Presentation: In this case, we report A 23-year-old Asian male patient with right scrotal swelling for the last 3 months. Scrotal ultrasound revealed an anechoic multiloculated cystic lesion mass in the right scrotum with the size of 11.89 cm x 7.73 cm lesion that fills almost the entire testicle. There are no solid parts, visible thickening of the scrotum, and visible fluid echo intensity outside the mass. Color Doppler showed a normal flow of blood signals within the mass. Pathological examination is also needed as a gold standard diagnosis, the results concluded that it was adenocarcinoma-type testicular carcinoma. Conclusion: This case highlights the utility of radiological findings, supported by other examinations to determine the diagnosis of Adenocarcinoma of rete testis.
