Background:Primary carcinoid tumors are rare and constitute 0.23% of all testicular tumors. We report a case of primary carcinoid tumor of testicular localization, with a review of the literature.Case presentation:A 29-year-old man, without specific ascendants, consulted the urology department for progressive scrotal swelling of 6 months, associated with pain. After surgery, histology showed diffuse tumor proliferation composed of small round monotone cells with hyperchromatic nuclei evoking undifferentiated carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry showed that tumor cells were positive for chromogranin A and negative for placental alkaline phosphatase and α-fetoprotein.Conclusion:Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the testis is a very rare malignant tumor. Immunohistochemistry contributes to its diagnosis in relation to other metastatic neuroendocrine carcinomas, carcinoid tumor teratomas, seminoma, and Sertoli cells.

Abstract Introduction: Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a seldom seen histological subtype of endometrial cancer with aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Among current literatures, no one was found to be hormonally functional.Case presentation: We reported a rare case of endometrial LCNEC expressing both parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rp). With ectopic PTH secreted into the blood stream, the hypercalcemia caused by malignant existence and osseous metastasis were concealed and misled initially. Literature review: Systematic literature search of previously reported uterine large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas and ectopic PTH-secreting neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cases were conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE databases respectively. We identified 55 cases of uterine LCNEC and 7 cases of PTH-secreting NET. Clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment and prognosis of all collected cases were summarized. Conclusion: Although quite rare, endometrial cancer can be functional and secret ectopic hormone, causing confusing clinical features. This case demonstrated the challenge in diagnosing malignancy-associated refractory hypercalcemia.

Primary Carcinoid Tumor

Carcinoid tumors usually arise in the gastrointestinal tract. Immunocytohistochemical and radiologic studies are important in detecting the primary tumor site. Primary carcinoid tumors of the testis are particularly rare with a high malignant potential warranting long-term follow-up. We present the case of a primary carcinoid tumor of the testis with long-term surveillance.

Case Presentation

Introduction: Steroli's cell tumors SCT are the rare testicular tumor. Very few cases were published in the literature. A new case of Sertoli's cell tumor that is reported and treated by testicular sparing surgery. Case Presentation: A 5-year-old boy with Sertoli' cell tumor presents with gynaecomastia and precocious puberty. He was treated by successful testicular sparing surgery. Conclusions: SCTs are rare testicular tumors. Testicular sparing surgery can be applied.
