A 66-year-old male was hospitalized with right femur fracture and injury of the popliteal artery sustained in a traffic accident. The patient underwent external fixation and repair of popliteal artery. At operation, the orthopedists noticed a mass in the scrotum and requested our consultation. A right orchiectomy was done under the diagnosis of a testicular tumor. The tumor measured 9 x 6 x 5 cm in size. Histological diagnosis was pure carcinoid of the testis. Computerized tomography and other studies showed no tumorous lesions elsewhere. Symptoms of a carcinoid syndrome were not noted. No evidence of metastasis has been seen for 12 months after surgery.
