Spermatocytic tumours are a rare form of testicular germ cell tumour that normally present in older men. This report presents a case of bilateral spermatocytic tumours in a 25-year-old man. The potential preservation of gonadal function, i.e. fertility and androgen production, is discussed, although this was not possible in this case. Although spermatocytic tumours are considered rare, the tumour is more common than previously thought and presents equally in older and younger men. In cases of bilateral presentation, accurate histological evaluation may allow the option of testis-sparing surgery.
精母细胞瘤是一种罕见的睾丸生殖细胞肿瘤,通常发生于老年男性。本报告介绍了一名25岁男性双侧精母细胞瘤的病例。文中讨论了保留性腺功能(即生育能力和雄激素分泌)的可能性,尽管该病例无法实现。虽然精母细胞瘤被认为罕见,但实际上这种肿瘤比之前认为的更为常见,在老年和年轻男性中均有发生。对于双侧发病的病例,准确的组织学评估可能有助于选择保留睾丸的手术。
