Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells and capable of metastasis. Most of them are found in the gastrointestinal tract; however, they can also be rarely seen in other organs. Testicular neuroendocrine tumors account for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms. They may present as primary testicular or secondary tumors from extratesticular sources. Jejunal neuroendocrine tumor metastasis to the testis is extremely rare. We present the case of a 61-year-old man with a jejunal neuroendocrine tumor and metastases to bilateral testicles revealed on Gallium-68-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
神经内分泌肿瘤是起源于神经内分泌细胞且具有转移能力的生长缓慢的肿瘤。它们大多见于胃肠道;然而,在其他器官中也很少见。睾丸神经内分泌肿瘤占所有睾丸肿瘤的比例不到1%。它们可能表现为原发性睾丸肿瘤或来自睾丸外来源的继发性肿瘤。空肠神经内分泌肿瘤转移至睾丸极为罕见。我们报告一例61岁男性患者,经镓-68- DOTATATE正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描发现患有空肠神经内分泌肿瘤并伴有双侧睾丸转移。
