testis retroperitoneal tumour surgery

summary

The case of 21-year old man with retroperitoneal mass is presented. The
tumour was surgically removed along with compressed and non-functioning
left kidney. Microscopic evaluation of the removed tumour revealed teratoma
of a retroperitoneal space type. Owing to the fact that being a child the patient
was operated on left-sided cryptorchidism, despite the lack of the evident
features of tumour of the testis, left orchidectomy was carried out.
In the removed testis white-grey focus 8 mm in diameter was found. In
microscopic evaluation of this area fibrosis atrophy and spermolits related to
pictures of carcinoma in situ were discovered.
The attention has been paid to diagnostic difficulties and rare clinical
pictures of the disease.
