Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common testicular malignancies in men. GCT typically presents as a painless nodule or swelling of the testicles with an atypical presentation such as heaviness or dull ache of the scrotum and/or the lower abdomen. Herein, we report a rare case of a testicular tumor presenting as an acute scrotum. This is a case of a 25-year-old male with no significant medical history; he presented to the emergency department with an acute scrotum for less than one day that was highly suspicious for testicular torsion. Surgical exploration and histopathology investigation revealed that this was a case of mixed GCTs.
生殖细胞肿瘤(GCTs)是男性最常见的睾丸恶性肿瘤。GCT通常表现为睾丸无痛性结节或肿大,也有非典型表现,如阴囊和/或下腹部坠胀或隐痛。在此,我们报告一例罕见的以急性阴囊表现的睾丸肿瘤病例。这是一名25岁男性,无重大病史;他因急性阴囊症状不到一天就诊于急诊科,高度怀疑为睾丸扭转。手术探查和组织病理学检查显示这是一例混合性GCTs病例。
