Abstract

Papillary serous carcinomas of testis are very rare, and only case reports have been reported in the literature. These neoplasms are characterised histologically by papillary fronds and numerous psammoma bodies and exhibit immunoreactivity for markers of ovarian serous carcinomas. These are very aggressive and are both chemo and radioresistant with surgery remained the main stay of management.
