Myoid gonadal stromal tumor: A rare testicular sex cord stromal neoplasm – a case report and review of the literature

Myoid gonadal stromal tumor (MGST) is an exceptionally rare benign testicular sex cord–stromal neoplasm with limited published experience. We report a 30-year-old man presenting with a painless right testicular mass and normal serum tumor markers. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a small enhancing intratesticular lesion suspicious for malignancy. Radical inguinal orchiectomy was performed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation was consistent with MGST, showing spindle-cell proliferation with diffuse smooth muscle actin, S100, and vimentin positivity and focal inhibin expression. No recurrence or metastasis occurred during 12 months of follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge and rarity of MGST.

Abstract

Myoid gonadal stromal tumor (MGST) is an exceptionally rare benign testicular sex cord–stromal neoplasm with limited published experience. We report a 30-year-old man presenting with a painless right testicular mass and normal serum tumor markers. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a small enhancing intratesticular lesion suspicious for malignancy. Radical inguinal orchiectomy was performed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation was consistent with MGST, showing spindle-cell proliferation with diffuse smooth muscle actin, S100, and vimentin positivity and focal inhibin expression. No recurrence or metastasis occurred during 12 months of follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge and rarity of MGST.
