Volume 13, Number 4Case ReviewBenign Paratesticular Fibrous Pseudotumor With Malignant Clinical FeaturesAbdelhak KhalloukYounes AhallalMohamed Jamal El FassiMoulay Hassan FarihMohamed Fadl TaziElmehdi TaziParatesticular tumors are rare intrascrotal masses that grow mainly in structures containing connective tissue around the testis, epididymis, or spermatic cord. We report here on a case of a 55-year-old man with a mass in the hemiscrotum that was found to be a paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor in the orchiectomy specimen pathologic examination. From this case report and literature review, a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy is demonstrated for the management of this uncommon lesion.

Volume 13, Number 3Case ReviewConcomitant Sertoli and Leydig Cell Tumor of the Testis: A Case ReportAbdelhak KhalloukYounes AhallalMohamed Jamal El FassiMoulay Hassan FarihMohamed Fadl TaziElmehdi TaziHinde ElfatemiMohcine BendahouA rare intratubular gonadal stromal tumor was present in the testis of a 45-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of gradual enlargement of the left testis. Tumoral markers were negative and no extension was observed. The tumor comprised an intratubular mixture of two types of tumor cells with intercellular junctions: the predominant tumor cells were consistent with a Sertoli cell origin and cells comprising the minor population consistent with a Leydig cell origin. The patient is disease free after 6-month follow-up. The case is considered to be a testicular mixed tubular Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor. It highlights a rare type of primary tumor of the testis that features a good prognosis. [Rev Urol. 2011;13(3):173-175 doi:10.3909/riu0495] © 2011 MedReviews®, LLC
