Abstract

Carcinoid of the testis in a male of 37 is described. Prolonged existence of the tumour, its big size and presence of tumour cells in vessels characterize this tumour as malignant. Electron-microscopically polymorphic, varying in size dense granules of a neuro-secretory type, typical for the EC-cells are observed.
