We report 2 cases of testicular seminoma with unusual but dissimilar clinical presentations, which may represent different stages of spontaneous regression of a primary testicular seminoma, the so-called 'shrinking seminoma'. The aetiology of this phenomenon is discussed. These cases also illustrate that, like enlargement, reduction in the size of a testicle warrants investigation for malignancy.
我们报告了2例睾丸精原细胞瘤，其临床表现不寻常且各不相同，这可能代表原发性睾丸精原细胞瘤自发消退的不同阶段，即所谓的“萎缩性精原细胞瘤”。本文讨论了这一现象的病因。这些病例还表明，与睾丸增大一样，睾丸体积缩小也需要进行恶性肿瘤排查。
