Because it is a remnant of the müllerian duct system, the appendix testis contains müllerian epithelium that theoretically may produce epithelial tumors similar to those that occur in the female genital tract. Few reports of tumors of müllerian origin arising in the testis exist, and rarely are neoplasms arising from the appendix testis identified. We present a case of a serous cystic neoplasm of low malignant potential derived from müllerian-type epithelium that was located in the torsed appendix testis of a young, otherwise healthy, boy.
由于睾丸附件是苗勒管系统的残余物，其含有苗勒上皮，理论上可能产生类似于女性生殖道中发生的上皮性肿瘤。睾丸中起源于苗勒管的肿瘤报告很少，且很少能识别出源自睾丸附件的肿瘤。我们报告一例低恶性潜能的浆液性囊性肿瘤，其起源于苗勒型上皮，位于一名年轻、健康男孩扭转的睾丸附件中。
