Combined Embryonal Cell Carcinoma and Granulomatous Orchitis of the Testis

Testicular embryonal cell carcinoma is a germ cell tumor that can be poorly differentiated and quite aggressive. It is a fairly common carcinoma of the testis but is uncommonly found coexisting with the rare inflammatory process of granulomatous orchitis. This case study describes a male in his early 30s diagnosed with embryonal carcinoma of the right testis combined with granulomatous orchitis that was initially found with sonography. The main treatment options are an orchiectomy or chemotherapy. The patient in this case was treated with orchiectomy before the cancer could metastasize to distant organs.
