Urology. 1991 Jun;37(6):571-3. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(91)80327-4.

Abstract

Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is diagnosed rarely. We describe the clinical and pathologic findings in a forty-seven-year-old man with this unusual tumor. Treatment modalities are reviewed emphasizing the role of radical orchiectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.
