Indtorduction. Spermatocytic seminoma represents a rare hystologic type of
malignant testicular germ cell tumor with slow course and low malignant
potential. Case report. We presented a 69-year-old patient with atypical
clinical presentation of spermatocytic seminoma initially diagnosed as
gigantic hydrocoellae which compromised walking. After long term evolution
clincal picture presented with signs and symptoms of acute scrotum.
Preoperative echosonography was performed and the diagnosis of testicular
infiltrative tumor was established. After that left scrotal orchiectomy was
performed. Patohistological examination revealed spermatocytic seminoma.
Conclusion. Inspite good prognosis there is a low probability of development
of high grade malignancy sinchronous sarcoma within the testis with a high
potential for lymphogenic and hematogenic dissemination. Individual approach
is necessary in accordance with the pathohistological diagnosis.
