Primary testicular teratoid Wilms tumor in a 40-year-old male with retroperitoneal lymph node involvement: A case report

Abstract

We report a 40-year-old male presenting with right testicular pain. Following right orchiectomy demonstrating pT1bS0N0M0 teratoma with extensive necrosis, the patient opted for surveillance. With new retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, the patient underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node. After final pathology demonstrated extensive necrosis, the initial orchiectomy specimen was re-reviewed which revealed 60/40 ratio of non-seminomatous teratoma to nephroblastoma. Adult presentation of testicular nephroblastoma is exceedingly rare and such reports contribute to the understanding of adult teratoid Wilms tumor pathogenesis. This case emphasizes the need for comprehensive diagnostic approaches and further research into the pathophysiology of extrarenal teratoid Wilms tumors.
