Carcinoma in-situ of the testis diagnosed on semen cytology.
The case is reported of a patient who presented to an infertility clinic following extensive treatment for testicular teratoma. An incidental finding on semen analysis was of abnormal cells suggestive of carcinoma in-situ. This diagnosis was later confirmed by biopsy of the remaining testicle. Radiotherapy will be given to the testis to ablate the germinal epithelium while sparing Leydig cell function.
