J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;55(12):561-3.

A left radical orchidectomy was performed on a 32year-old man presenting with a testicular mass. Histology revealed a tumour comprising of cells with monotonous nuclei and granular cytoplasm arranged in an insularpattern. Immunohistochemical expression for NSE, synaptophysin and chromogranin A were positive. No teratomatous elements were seen. Postoperatively, a staging CT and an octreotide scan were normal. Urinary 5-HIAA levels were not elevated. Based on these investigations the tumor was diagnosed as a pure primary carcinoid tumor of the testis. The patient has been followed up for 3 years with no evidence of recurrence.
