1 | This is a 42-year-old man with no medical history of interest, and with vasectomy surgery as the only urological history. He came to our clinic due to a chance finding of a nodule in the right testicle. |
||
2 | An ultrasound scan was requested, which revealed a well-defined, homogeneous, hypoechoic image of homogeneous density, located in the upper pole of the right testicle. The alpha-fetoprotein and beta-HCG tumour markers were normal, as was the rest of the physical examination, where no signs of hormonal overproduction were observed. |
||
3 | It was therefore decided to perform an intraoperative biopsy of the nodule, which was reported as a low-grade spindle-shaped tumour without being able to rule out malignancy, so it was decided to perform a radical right orchiectomy via the inguinal route. |
||
4 | The patient had a good postoperative evolution and was discharged the following day. The definitive anatomopathological report was a non-specific spindle-shaped tumour of the sexual stroma. |
||
5 | No signs of recurrence or progression have been observed in the subsequent follow-up of this patient. |
