The ovarian-like epithelial tumors of the testis and paratesticular structures are very rare. They are a heterogenous group of neoplasms which are classified according to cell type: serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, and Brenner tumors, and divided into benign (cystadenoma) and borderline and malignant (carcinoma).
Definition
Ovarian epithelial-type tumors of the testis are neoplasia with Müllerian differentiation that have been classified with the same morphologic criteria of epithelial-stromal tumors of the ovary.
Clinical Features
Most tumors are incidental findings in the examination of patients complaining of a non-painful testicular increase in size. Most cases are located in the epididymis and...
