Zusammenfassung
Insuläre Karzinoide sind neuroendokrine, nichtinvasive Tumore. Sie sind mit <1% aller testikulären Neoplasien sehr selten. In 10% können sie mit einem Karzinoidsyndrom (Durchfälle, „Flush-Symptomatik“) und in 20% mit einer Metastasierung assoziiert sein.
Bei einem 69-jährigen Mann wurde die inguinale Freilegung und Orchiektomie des rechten Hodens wegen eines 2,4 cm großen, schmerzlosen Tumors durchgeführt. Die histopathologische Begutachtung ergab ein insuläres Karzinoid.
Abstract
A 69-year-old man presented with a 2.4 cm painless mass in his right testis. Inguinal orchiectomy was performed. Histologically a carcinoid tumor of the testis was diagnosed.
These neuroendocrine, noninvasive tumors are very rare, representing 0.23% of all testicular neoplasms. In 10% these tumors are associated with carcinoid syndrome and in 20% with metastatic disease.
