|
2020-21 / May 25
| A male in his 40s presented with left testicular swelling and pain. On ultrasound, a solid mass was identified in the left testis. Pre-operative AFP and HCG serum levels were not elevated. Serum LDH was mildly elevated preoperatively. The patient underwent a left radical orchiectomy for a presumed testicular tumor. Grossly, no discrete mass was noted in the specimen, but the cut surface of the testis was remarkable for hemorrhage. Given the discrepancy between the clinical impression and gross findings, the orchiectomy specimen was extensively sampled for microscopic examination and the main findings are shown in the accompanying photomicrographs. |
