To our knowledge, only one case of this rare testicular tumour has been reported in the literature to date, and this is the first report of its presentation with haematospermia.1 A 65-year-old patient was admitted to our clinic for the evaluation of painless haematospermia. The patient＇s past medical history was unremarkable. At presentation and during the scrotal and testis exam- ination, there was no palpable mass. The patient had no voiding symptoms, and there were no signs of infection. The patient also denied experiencing any recent trauma. A digital rectal examination of the prostate was normal. The ultrasonographic findings disclosed a well-circumscribed ovoid hypoechoic nodule within the right testis, near its upper pole, measuring approximately 0.5 cm, and moderate hydrocele （Figure la）. The values of serum prostate-specific antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and lactate dehydrogenase were normal.展开更多
