title: Adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis: report of two cases.
abstract: We present two adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis (AHRT) cases. One of them was a 67-year old patient with prostatic adenocarcinoma and the other was a 38-year old patient with undescended testis. AHRT is a rarely seen lesion and usually detected as incidental microscopic finding. It may be confused with malignancy and related to testicular atrophy and hormonal imbalance. The treatment of choice is complete excision.
