Testicular tumors are rare in the prepubertal population and often are germ cell tumors. Myofibroma is a rare spindle cell neoplasm composed of myofibroblasts, which are intermediate cells between fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Only two prepubertal testicular myofibromas have been previously reported. While cryptorchidism is a risk factor for testicular germ cell tumors, the exact etiology of testicular myofibroma is unknown. We report a case of testicular myofibroma in a six-year-old male with a history of undescended testes, as well as a review of the literature. This case suggests a possible connection between undescended testes and testicular myofibroma.
睾丸肿瘤在青春期前人群中罕见,通常为生殖细胞肿瘤。肌纤维瘤是一种罕见的梭形细胞肿瘤,由肌成纤维细胞组成,它们是成纤维细胞和平滑肌细胞之间的中间细胞。之前仅报道过两例青春期前睾丸肌纤维瘤。隐睾是睾丸生殖细胞肿瘤的一个危险因素,而睾丸肌纤维瘤的确切病因尚不清楚。我们报告了一例 6 岁男性睾丸肌纤维瘤病例,该患者有隐睾病史,并对文献进行了复习。该病例提示隐睾与睾丸肌纤维瘤之间可能存在关联。
