GOMEZ, Adriana et al. Tumor mucinoso limítrofe paratesticular y carcinoma mucinoso de retroperitoneo: A propósito de un caso. Rev. venez. oncol. [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.2, pp.92-98. ISSN 0798-0582.

Testicular and par testicular tumors of type epithelial are rare. There is little reference in literature of mucinous variety; the vast majorities are serous. In this article we discussed the case of 38 year old male who presented with a two year history of left low quadrant pain, abdominal mass and enlarged left testicle. Left orchiectomy was performed finding a mucoid cystic tumor, measuring 7 cm x 6 cm x 3.5 cm which was reported as a low grade malignancy par testicular mucinous (tumor Borderline). Consequently, since compressive symptoms persisted,the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy. A lobular tumor measuring 21 cm x 19 cm x 12 cm was found in the retroperitoneum. It corresponded to mucinous carcinoma of the intestinal variety within a mature cystic teratoma. Based on these findings and after reviewing the literature it was concluded that both tumors were independent from each other, considering them synchronous tumors.
