Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is very rare. It is highly malignant with potential of early metastasis. We are reporting such a case occurring in a 34‐year‐old man who remains tumor‐free 7 years after orchiectomy. Another 20 reported cases of such a tumor from the English literature are reviewed.
