| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To report on the incidental finding of invasive seminoma in a patient with nonobstructive azoospermia during microdissection testicular sperm extraction. DESIGN: Case report. PATIENTS: A single patient diagnosed with nonobstructive azoospermia underwent microdissection testicular sperm extraction, and an incidental finding of invasive seminoma was made upon histopathological analysis. RESULTS: An incidental discovery of invasive seminoma was observed in the sample pathology obtained during the microdissection testicular sperm extraction. Consequently, the patient underwent further diagnostic workup and a radical orchiectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Men with male factor infertility are at increased risk of testicular cancer. As such, it is imperative to incorporate a thorough physical examination and relevant imaging into their diagnostic process. Additionally, it is advisable to include histopathological analysis for all individuals undergoing microdissection testicular sperm extraction. |
