Abstract:
Large testicular tumor is not a commonly seen entity in the modern era. While treatment of large testicular tumors is via inguinal radical orchiectomy, large testicular tumors carry the dilemma of delivering these large masses via the inguinal or scrotal approach. Here, we present a case of a 53-year-old male patient with a testicular tumor weighing 2.170 kg, measuring 22 cm × 16 cm × 12 cm, who was treated via inguinal orchiectomy with the extension of the surgical wound to the neck of the scrotum, with pathological report showing seminoma with no spermatic cord invasion. We review some case reports of such large tumors to illustrate this treatment dilemma.
