Case report: primary carcinoid tumor of the testicle without metastases in combination with testicular atrophy and testosterone deficiency.
The first case of testicular carcinoid was represented as an element of a benign cystic teratoma by Simon et al. J Urol 1954; 72: 892-894. It is a rare disease accounting for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms. We report a case of carcinoid of the testis without carcinoid syndrome and metastasis but with testosterone deficiency based on a bilateral testicular atrophy, which has not been previously reported.
