A Rare Case of Serous Papillary Ovarian Epithelial Type Carcinoma in Testis: A Rare Testicular Neoplasm

Abstract

Ovarian epithelial type carcinomas of testis are an extremely rare group of tumors, a few cases of which having been reported. We present the case of a 67-year-old man, presented with testicular mass and inflation, who underwent radical orchiectomy and pathological and immunohistochemical assessments revealed serous papillary carcinoma of ovarian epithelial type tumor of testis.
