Abstract

Background: Adenocarcinoma of rete testis is an extremely rare intra-scrotal extra-testicular neoplasm, this tumor usually occurs in men over 60 years of age but there are a few cases of younger patients described as well, has a wide age range of 8-91 years. Case Presentation: In this case, we report A 23-year-old Asian male patient with right scrotal swelling for the last 3 months. Scrotal ultrasound revealed an anechoic multiloculated cystic lesion mass in the right scrotum with the size of 11.89 cm x 7.73 cm lesion that fills almost the entire testicle. There are no solid parts, visible thickening of the scrotum, and visible fluid echo intensity outside the mass. Color Doppler showed a normal flow of blood signals within the mass. Pathological examination is also needed as a gold standard diagnosis, the results concluded that it was adenocarcinoma-type testicular carcinoma. Conclusion: This case highlights the utility of radiological findings, supported by other examinations to determine the diagnosis of Adenocarcinoma of rete testis.
