Primary testicular amyloidosis, a rare cause of testicular enlargement, was observed in a 72-year-old man. This case highlights amyloidosis as a differential diagnosis for painless testicular swelling.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Testicular enlargement is a common clinical presentation.
  • Rapid enlargement typically raises suspicion for testicular tumors.
  • Primary testicular infiltration by amyloidosis is an uncommon etiology.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old male presented with painless, rapid enlargement of the right testis.
  • Clinical examination and imaging were performed.
  • Biopsy confirmed amyloid deposition within the testicular parenchyma.

Findings:

  • Histopathological analysis revealed extensive amyloid deposition in the testicular interstitium.
  • No evidence of malignancy was found.
  • This confirmed a diagnosis of primary testicular amyloidosis.

Implications:

  • Amyloidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of testicular enlargement, even in the absence of typical systemic symptoms.
  • This case expands the understanding of rare testicular pathologies.
  • Further research may elucidate the pathogenesis and optimal management of primary testicular amyloidosis.
