Key Clinical Message The case of a 44‐year‐old male with signet‐ring cell adenocarcinoma metastasis in the testis emphasizes the significance of immunohistochemistry in identifying the primary site of metastatic tumors. Further research is needed to establish effective treatment strategies for rare malignancies like small intestine signet‐ring cell carcinoma. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for improved patient outcomes. Abstract Metastasis to the testes is a rare occurrence, and identifying the primary site of origin can pose a significant challenge. Signet‐ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is an uncommon subtype of adenocarcinoma typically found in the stomach but can also occur in other organs. This case report presents a 44‐year‐old male with signet‐ring cell adenocarcinoma metastasis in the right testis. The patient's initial clinical manifestation was testicular painful swelling, and subsequent immunohistochemical analysis using CK7, CK20, and CDX2 markers suggested a gastrointestinal origin. Normal upper and lower endoscopies rise suspicion of a small intestinal origin. The rarity of SRCC of the small intestine and the lack of clinical trials make treatment decisions difficult. This case highlights the importance of immunohistochemistry in determining the primary site of metastatic tumors and underscores the need for further research to establish optimal treatment strategies for rare malignancies like SRCC of the small intestine. As early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are critical for better patient outcomes.

Objectives: Nonpalpable testicular masses are usually diagnosed during routine ultrasonography (US) examinations for other conditions. There are conflicting results on the final diagnosis and management of these lesions. In the present study we report the results of a large US series of 5104 patients on nonpalpable testicular masses and discuss the management of these patients. Methods: This retrospective observational study was performed in a secondary care military hospital. A total of 5104 patients underwent a US and 11 of them were diagnosed as having a nonpalpable testicular mass. These 11 patients also underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Two of them refused surgery and were excluded from the study. The remaining nine patients underwent intraoperative US-guided localization and excisional biopsy of the non-palpable testicular parenchymal mass. A radical orchiectomy was required in all of them. US and MRI findings, frozen and final pathology results were recorded. Results: The median age of study subjects was 24 years. The final pathology revealed a malign tumor in eight patients and an inflammatory mass in one patient. There were inconsistent results in four patients between frozen section analysis and final pathology. MRI improved the definition of the solid masses in all patients. Conclusions: MRI enhances the certainty of the diagnosis of malignity in nonpalpable testicular masses, particularly in conditions that generally can not be diagnosed with ultrasonography alone. Frozen section analysis is not an accredited method in diagnosing malign lesions in non-palpable testicular masses.

We experienced a case of a paratesticular mucinous adenocarcinoma from primary pancreatic cancer. A 67-year old man presented with a scrotal mass. Scrotal ultrasound showed a cystic mass on the testis. Radical orchiectomy was performed and the tumor was revealed as a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma separated from epididymis and testis. Metastatic cancer was suspected and abdominal computed tomography showed pancreatic cancer. We report this rare case of metastatic paratesticular cystoadenocarcinoma.

Xanthogranulomatous orchitis is an extremely rare inflammatory change of testis which is difficult to distinguish from testicular tumor. We report on a 21-year-old man who presented with left testicular swelling and pyogenic discharge from the scrotum. Testicular tumor markers were normal. Scrotal ultrasonography showed a testicular tumor in the left testis. Because of severe adhesion between the scrotum and intrascrotal structures, radical orchiectomy combined with hemiscrotectomy was performed to exclude possible malignancy. Histopathological findings showed xanthogranulomatous orchitis.

A case is reported of classic granulosa cell tumor of the testis with metastases to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes occurring in a 26-year-old man. The patient had left-sided testicular enlargement and bilateral gynecomastia. He was treated by radical orchiectomy, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and radiation therapy and is well without evidence of disease 14 years after diagnosis. This is the first documented case of granulosa cell tumor of the testis with metastases and long remission after successful therapy to the authors' knowledge.

Background: A rare case of leiomyosarcoma from the spermatic cord is described. A 72-year-old man complained of a hard, golf-ball sized mass in the right inguinal canal. Methods: Transinguinal radical orchiectomy was performed and histologic examination revealed leiomyosarcoma originating from the spermatic cord. Distant metastases were not observed by further examinations. Radiation as adjuvant therapy was carried out in order to prevent the local recurrence. Results/Discussion: The patient has been alive for 16 months with no evidence of disease. In leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord, locoregional recurrence is common. In addition to transinguinal radical orchiectomy, local radiation therapy should be carried out as an adjuvant.

A case of primary pure carcinoid tumor of the testis which occurred in a 71-year-old male is reported. The patient was treated by radical orchiectomy and remains well and symptom free 10 months after operation. Histologically as well as ultrastructurally the tumor showed typical appearances of carcinoid tumor of midgut derivation. 23 cases of carcinoid tumors of the testis were discovered in the literature. Of these 17 were primary testicular carcinoids, and 6 were metastatic to the testis. Of the 17 cases of primary carcinoid tumors, 14 were pure carcinoids and only 3 were associated with teratoma. None of the primary testicular carcinoids were associated with metastases and the prognosis after orchiectomy was excellent, thus indicating that no further therapy is necessary. The prognosis of patients with carcinoid metastatic to the testis is poor. In view of this it is very important to determine whether the tumor is primary or metastatic.
