Multiple foci of micronodular or tubulopapillary structures were noted in the rete testis of 13 cases of undescended testes. These structures were lined by low columnar to cuboidal epithelium, showed back-to-back crowding, and were supported by a thin lamina propria. These changes, referred to as adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis, appear to be a frequent finding in the undescended testis. An age-matched control group did not show any of these features.
在13例隐睾病例的睾丸网中发现多个微小结节或小管乳头状结构病灶。这些结构由低柱状至立方形上皮细胞排列,呈现背靠背拥挤现象,并由薄的固有层支持。这些变化被称为睾丸网腺瘤样增生,似乎是隐睾中常见的发现。年龄匹配的对照组未显示出这些特征中的任何一种。
