Abstract

We report a case of a carcinoid tumor originated in testicle associated with mature teratoma in a 31 years old male. Primary gonadal location of this tumor is unusual, moreover when associated with teratoma. Early diagnosis and treatment determine the prognostic of the patients affected of this neoplasm since the only curative potential treatment is surgery. Follow up must be extent for years due to the possibility of late relapse.
