  Background: The large majority of primary testicular tumours originate from germ cells. Cryptorchidism remains the most common risk factor for testicular germ cell tumors. Approximately 10% of the cases are associated with past (corrected) or present cryptorchidism. Seminoma is the most frequent GCT and frequently occurs in undescended testes (5% to 8%). Case report: A 30-year male attended surgery OPD with a mass in the right lumbar region. CT scan revealed a small intestinal mass which was also verified by the surgeons intraoperatively. On histopathological examination of the resected specimen a diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumour (Carcinoid) was offered. The patient came to us requesting immunohistochemistry for confirmation but it showed CK and chromogranin negativity. Further marker study showed the tumour to be positive for CD117. Revis..
