Abstract

Tumors with Müllerian-like serous or mucinous phenotypes originating in the testis and its adnexa are rare neoplasms that have been increasingly recognized in recent years. Cystadenomas with or without ovarian-type stroma, borderline tumors, and adenocarcinomas are the main documented types. Although a handful cases of putative endometrioid adenocarcinomas have been reported, to our knowledge no case of endometrial stromal-type neoplasm has ever been reported in the literature. A 59-year-old man presented with a 2 cm left intrascrotal mass that was found on sonographic examination to arise from the epididymal tail with prominent vascularization. He was otherwise healthy without significant clinical history, endocrinopathy, or external hormone therapy. His testicular tumor markers (beta-HCG, AFP) were normal. Histologic examination of the resection showed a multinodular tumor closely associated with the epididymis and composed of monotonous rounded to ovoid cells with scanty cytoplasm and prominent spiral-like arterioles and capillaries. Mitotic activity was high. No other tumor component was seen. Immunohistochemistry revealed strong and diffuse expression of vimentin, CD10, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor. Molecular examination (performed on paraffin-embedded tumor tissue using a 517 gene fusion next-generation sequencing assay) showed a JAZF1/SUZ12 translocation, which was then confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). These findings are consistent with a low-grade endometrioid stromal sarcoma originating in the paratestis. This report represents a novel addition to the growing spectrum of Müllerian-analog testicular adnexal neoplasms.
