Ovarian type surface epithelial carcinoma of the testis with delayed metastatic spread.
Ovarian type surface epithelial carcinomas of the testis and paratestis are rare. The most frequent form is the serous subtype while only a few cases of the mucinous subtype have been reported in the literature. A 67-year-old patient with a mucinous ovarian type surface carcinoma of the testis is presented. The histopathological and immunohistochemical details of this rare lesion are discussed.
