abstract: A case of primary pure carcinoid tumor of the testis which occurred in a 37 year male is reported. Symptoms suggestive of a carcinoid syndrome were not noted. The patient was treated by radical orchiectomy. The pathological specimen showed the morphological characteristics of carcinoid and no teratomatous components.

The patient remains symptom free and in good health conditions after 2 years from surgery.
