Abstract

Ovarian type epithelial high-grade and borderline tumors are rare in the testis and paratesticular tissue in men. Onlyabout 40 cases reported in the literature to date and a few of them were metastatic. Due to rarity, there is no exactconsensus in the optimal management of these patients. Herein we report two cases; first with a high-grade metastaticserous papillary carcinoma and another with a borderline serous papillary cystadenoma of testicular tissue.
