Urology. 2005 Sep;66(3):658. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2005.03.032.

Abstract

Malignant ovarian-type surface epithelial tumors of the testis and paratestis are rare neoplasms. The chemosensitivity of these tumors has not been previously documented. We report a patient with metastatic disease with demonstrated responsiveness to chemotherapy treatments used in advanced ovarian cancer.
