BACKGROUND Primary carcinoid tumors are rare and constitute 0.23% of all testicular tumors. We report a case of primary carcinoid tumor of testicular localization, with a review of the literature. METHODS A 29-year-old man, without specific ascendants, consulted the urology department for progressive scrotal swelling of 6 months, associated with pain. After surgery, histology showed diffuse tumor proliferation composed of small round monotone cells with hyperchromatic nuclei evoking undifferentiated carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry showed that tumor cells were positive for chromogranin A and negative for placental alkaline phosphatase and α-fetoprotein. CONCLUSIONS Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the testis is a very rare malignant tumor. Immunohistochemistry contributes to its diagnosis in relation to other metastatic neuroendocrine carcinomas, carcinoid tumor teratomas, seminoma, and Sertoli cells.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.
