BMJ Case Rep. 2021 Feb 4;14(2):e240042. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2020-240042.

Abstract

In this manuscript, we describe a rare case of neuroendocrine tumour metastatic to the testicle, presenting with testicular mass as an isolated symptom. We describe the investigations and management leading us to this uncommon histological diagnosis and explore its significance and impact on further management.
