Keywords:
testis, embryonal carcinoma, orchiectomy, adultAbstract
As a case presentation, the present paper aims to present a patient with pure embryonal carcinoma, which is rarely seen, together with the relevant literature. Th e case is a 36-year-old male patient, who applied to the clinic with complaints of pain and swelling in the left testis. In the scrotal doppler ultrasonography, hypoechoic solid lesion contoured to the lobule almost fi lling the left testis and having the size of 25x60 mm were observed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of the this case was diagnosed with pure embryonal carcinoma. All the patients with complaint of pain-free mass in testis should be investigated. Although the pure embryonal carcinoma is rarely seen, it is one of the tumors that can be clinically and histopathologically confused with other testis tumors and should be considered for the patients applying to the clinic with complaints of pain-free mass in testis.
