Testicular granulosa cell tumor of the adult type is a very rare tumor, and, to date and our knowledge, only 23 cases of this rare testicular tumor have been reported in the literature, 5 of which developed metastases. We report a case of granulosa cell tumor of adult type in a 45-year-old man with a 15-year history of a painless increasing right testicular volume who underwent radical orchiectomy. The patient is disease-free after a 2-year follow-up, without any adjuvant therapy. Our case and a review of the literature indicate that this type of tumor is a rare, slow-growing neoplasm. Because distant metastases may occur late in the clinical course, long-term follow-up of these patients is recommended.
成人型睾丸颗粒细胞瘤是一种非常罕见的肿瘤，据我们所知，迄今为止文献中仅报道了23例这种罕见的睾丸肿瘤，其中5例发生了转移。我们报告一例45岁男性的成人型颗粒细胞瘤病例，该患者右侧睾丸无痛性增大15年，接受了根治性睾丸切除术。经过2年随访，患者无疾病复发，未接受任何辅助治疗。我们的病例及文献复习表明，这种类型的肿瘤是一种罕见的、生长缓慢的肿瘤。由于远处转移可能在临床过程晚期出现，建议对这些患者进行长期随访。
