Testicular sarcoma (Sarcocele)

Testicular sarcoma (sarcomatosis testis) is a malignant neoplasm that occurs in the testicle in men. It can be either primary or secondary. Primary testicular sarcoma arises from the tissues of the testicle itself, and secondary - from other organs or tissues that are located next to the testicle. Testicular sarcoma is one of the most common genitourinary tumors in men and can lead to serious consequences, including infertility and even death. In this article we will look at the main symptoms and treatment of testicular sarcoma.

Testicular sarcoma is considered a very rare malignant tumor that is most often found in children and adolescents. It arises from testicular tissue and can quickly spread to nearby organs. Sarcomas can be either benign (with the development of local inflammation) or malignant. Symptoms depend on the stage of the process and the form of the neoplasm. Sarcoma is an aggressive disease that tends to spread rapidly throughout the body and carries a poor prognosis for treatment. Typically, this neoplasm is manifested by pronounced lateral swelling of the scrotum, accompanied by acute pain. Most often, such formations are an accidental finding, which leads to a diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Testicular sarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that develops from the membranes or parenchyma of the testicle and spreads to surrounding organs and tissues.

Testicular sarcoma is a rare pathology, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant testicular tumors.

Classification and clinical picture Main

Testicular sarcoma is a rare oncological disease, a malignant (cancerous) tumor formed by connective tissue. It affects men aged 25–60 years, more often of the Negroid race. It does not occur in children and adolescents. Testicular sarcoma is also called granular cell sarcoma, otherwise undifferentiated carcinoma.

The disease occurs mainly in males under the age of 30-40 years.
