Incidental Brenner Tumor in a Testis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Brenner tumor found in the testis is a rare entity; only six cases have been previously published. The diagnosis of this tumor is challenging to clinicians, academically engaging, and its scarcity lends itself to discussion amongst healthcare providers. We present here the seventh case report of Brenner tumor found incidentally in the testis of a 60-year-old male following orchiectomy for scrotal infection. This tumor is primarily found in the ovary and is theorized to have an embryological origin. Brenner tumor represents a unique diagnostic challenge as there are no characteristic radiographic findings due to a large degree of variation. These cases are academically interesting and a rare challenge to clinicians.
