Overview

Adenomatoid tumor is a benign mesothelial tumor affecting testicular adnexa. It generally presents in the genital tract, in regions such as the testis and epididymis.However, it also has been found in the pancreas.

Pathophysiology

  • Adenomatoid tumors are benign, solid extratesticular lesions that can originate from the epididymis, tunica vaginalis, or spermatic cord.[1][2][3]
  • They are the most common tumor of the epididymis.[4][5]
  • They occur more often in the lower pole than in the upper pole by a ratio of 4:1.[6][7][8]
  • Usually an incidental finding, adenomatoid tumors manifest as a painless scrotal mass, with the majority diagnosed in patients aged 20–50 years.[9][10][11]
  • They are typically unilateral and occur more frequently on the left side. When they grow noninvasively into the testicular parenchyma, they can simulate intratesticular disease.[12][13][14][15]

Gross pathology

  • 1 - 5 cm, well circumscribed solid tumor, adherent to testis / testicular adnexa
  • Cut surface may have small cystic spaces

Histopathology

  • No distinct growth pattern
  • Unencapsulated, cuboidal to flat cells forming cords that are either epithelial-like or form channels with dilated lumina simulating vessels
  • Cells have acidophilic cytoplasm with cytoplasmic vacuoles
  • Nuclei lack nucleoli
  • Mitoses and necrosis are usually absent
  • Intervening stroma may have smooth muscle and elastic fibers, desmoplastic quality and inflammatory cells
  • Rarely, tumor may extend into testicular parenchyma or even rarer, be totally inside the testis[5][13]
  • Patterns have been described but most tumors show a mixture of:[16][17][18][19][20]
    • Adenomatoid (tubular): glandular pattern with cytoplasmic vacuoles giving a signet ring appearance
    • Angiomatoid (canalicular): cells have a more endothelial appearance
    • Solid (plexiform): cells have a more epithelial appearance
    • Cystic (mixed): rare; tumor is in form of cystic spaces lined by cuboidal to flattened lining epithelium

Cytology

  • Smears are moderately cellular with sheets of monotonous round to oval cells showing indistinct cell borders and moderate to abundant pale cytoplasm with vacuolations [8][21]
  • Nuclei are eccentric in location but regular with inconspicuous nucleoli[22][3][15]

Immunostaining

  • Adenomatoid tumor stains positive for:[10]
    • Calretinin
    • Pan cytokeratins (EMA, AE1 / AE3, Cam5.2)
    • CK5 / 6
    • CK7 (variable, focal to diffuse)
  • Adenomatoid tumor stains negative for:
    • Vascular / endothelial markers (CD31, CD34)
    • CEA
    • HBME1
    • Factor VIII Ag
    • MOC31 / BerEP4
    • B72.3
    • CD15
    • Ulex europeus agglutinin I
    • Germ cell markers including:
      • OCT3 / 4
      • SOX2
      • AFP
      • PLAP
      • CD117
      • CD30
      • NANOG

Electron microscopy

  • Prominent microvilli
  • Desmosomes
  • Tonofilaments associated with dilated intercellular spaces

Causes

  • Mesothelial origin based on immunohistochemical features and ultrastructural studies [23]
  • Similar tumor in spermatic cord, ejaculatory duct, fallopian tube, uterus

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • 30% of testicular adnexal tumors, 73% of benign tumors of testicular adnexa in study of 314 tumors[24]
  • Usually 3rd to 5th decade; rare - 5 year old boy[25] and 70 year old man[26]

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

  • Uniformly benign behavior, no reports of malignant transformation

Diagnosis

  • Diagnosis is suspected clinicoradiologically, confirmed histologically

History and Symptoms

Common sites of involvement

  • Adenomatoid tumor most commonly involves the following sites:
    • Lower pole of epididymis
    • Testicular membranes including:
    • Spermatic cord (rarely)
    • Rete testis (rarely) [29]
    • Testicular parenchyma i.e. intratesticular localization (rarely)[11][13]

Symptoms

  • Presents as solid, well circumscribed mass in scrotum, often associated with pain
  • Usually 1 - 5 cm, rarely larger[30]
  • Benign, even if it extends into testis

Laboratory findings

  • No specific laboratory finding; however, negative markers for germ cell tumor are helpful in excluding a germ cell malignancy

Ultrasound findings

  • On an ultrasound, they appear as a solid extratesticular mass with variable echogenicity.[31]
  • USG reveals a relatively hypo, iso to hyperechoic mass at lower pole of epididymis, not distorting the testis

MRI

  • Commonly, MRI demonstrates low signal intensity relative to the testicular parenchyma on T2-weighted images.
  • MRI can aid in determining the paratesticular origin of the lesion.
  • Adenomatoid tumors enhance after administration of gadolinium contrast material.

Treatment

  • Complete excision
  • Frozen section examination may prevent unnecessary radical orchiectomy[32][33]

Differentiating Adenomatoid tumor from other diseases

  • Adenomatoid tumor must be differentiated from:
    • Malignant mesothelioma (HBME1+, mitoses and necrosis)
    • Metastatic adenocarcinoma (positive for one or more of CEA, PSA, MOC31 / BerEP4 and CD15 are useful)
    • Papillary cystadenoma of epididymis
