Abstract

Only a few cases of hereditary persistence of α-fetoprotein (HPAFP) have been published. This report presents an association between HPAFP and inflammatory testis disease, to the authors' knowledge, for the first time. HPAFP was diagnosed in a 41-year-old patient with acute epididymitis after exclusion of malignancies and benign diseases.

摘要

仅有少数几例α-甲胎蛋白遗传性持续存在（HPAFP）的病例被发表。据作者所知，本报告首次呈现了HPAFP与炎性睾丸疾病之间的关联。一名41岁急性附睾炎患者在排除恶性肿瘤和良性疾病后被诊断为HPAFP。
