Serous tumours of the testis and paratestis are rare, with fewer than 50 cases reported in the literature. The majority of the reported cases have been borderline serous tumours, and these tend not to recur or metastasize. Conversely, serous carcinomas can metastasize but this is often a late event. The presence of invasion in an otherwise borderline tumour has also been associated with the development of metastatic disease several years later, thus highlighting the importance of extensive sampling of all cases of borderline serous tumours. We report a case of a young man diagnosed with serous carcinoma of the testis, occurring 18 years after first diagnosis of a testicular germ cell tumour in the contralateral testis. This pattern has not previously been reported.
睾丸和睾丸旁的浆液性肿瘤很罕见，文献报道的病例不足50例。大多数报道的病例为交界性浆液性肿瘤，这些肿瘤往往不会复发或转移。相反，浆液性癌可发生转移，但这通常是晚期事件。在其他方面为交界性的肿瘤中出现浸润也与数年后转移性疾病的发生有关，因此凸显了对所有交界性浆液性肿瘤病例进行广泛取材的重要性。我们报告一例年轻男性病例，其在对侧睾丸首次诊断为睾丸生殖细胞肿瘤18年后被诊断为睾丸浆液性癌。这种情况此前未见报道。
