Six melanotic neuroectodermal tumors of infancy arising in the epididymis were reported previously. Each followed a benign clinical course. In the seventh case of such a tumor, reported herein, an elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein level returned to normal following excision of the tumor. Urinary and serum tumor markers may be useful for following the course of these tumors in the future.
此前曾报道过6例发生于附睾的婴儿黑色素性神经外胚层肿瘤。每例均呈良性临床经过。本文报道的第7例此类肿瘤患者,肿瘤切除后血清甲胎蛋白水平升高恢复正常。尿和血清肿瘤标志物未来可能有助于追踪这些肿瘤的病程。
