Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is a rare tumour with a varied presentation. A total of 44 cases have been reported [1]. Of these testicular tumours, primary non germ cell tumours account for a minority of cases.Among this, adenocarcinoma originating in the rete testis is still rarer. It is a highly malignant tumour with poor prognosis. It is generally diagnosed clinically as a solid or cystic swelling. However, confirmation is madeonly on histological diagnosis.
