Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis, also rete testis adenocarcinoma, is a very rare malignant tumour of the paratesticular region/testis.
General
- Extremely rare[1] - a few dozen cases in the world literature.
- Typically older men (>60 years old), but reported in younger men with undescended testis.[1]
- Possible association with diethylstilbestrol - based on non-human data.[2]
- Prognosis poor[3] - 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival approximately 50% and 15% respectively.[4]
Clinical:
- Germ cell tumour serum markers (LDH, AFP, beta-hCG) typically normal.
Gross
- Lesion of the testicular hilum.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Adenocarcinoma:
- Atypical columnar or cuboidal cells, often with cigar-shaped nuclei.
- Classically tubular or papillary architecture.[2]
- Transistion to normal appearing rete testis.[1]
DDx:
- Adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis - may be a concurrent pathology.[5]
- Metastatic carcinoma involving the testis - usually prostate, kidney, or colon.[6]
- Sertoli cell tumour.
- Malignant mesothelioma.[1]
