Abstract
Primary testicular tumour is unusual in elderly population. We present a case of 74 year old with adult type granulosa cell tumour, located at the right testis. The patient had right radical inquinal orchiectomy. The tumour composed of a cystic component which had a number of different areas. Many areas showed a granulosa cell morphology with Call-Exner bodies. Our report highlights one more challenging case of testicular tumours in elderly, which are quite problematic in terms of prognosis and management. Long-term follow up is recommended, since metastases of the disease may appear late in the clinical course.
