TL;DR
A rare case of a testicular neuroendocrine tumor causing heart symptoms is reported, with histopathological confirmation.
Contribution
Presentation of a rare case linking testicular neuroendocrine tumor with cardiac symptoms.
Findings
A 47-year-old male presented with cardiac symptoms and a testicular mass.
Histopathology confirmed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with positive synaptophysin and chromogranin A.
The case highlights the rarity and unique clinical presentation of such tumors.
Abstract
Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of the testis are exceedingly rare. Here, we report the case of a 47-year-old male patient complaining of cardiac symptoms with a right testicular mass. A right radical orchiectomy was performed. The histopathological findings showed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with positive synaptophysin and chromogranin A immunostains.
