anti ma2 associated encephalitis in a patient with Testis Carcinoma
Neurology, 2016Co-Authors: Sven R. Suwijn, Lars P. Klieverik, Vincent J.j. OdekerkenAbstract:A 30-year-old man presented with 3 months of alternating hyper- and hypothermia, libido loss, hypersomnia, and headache. Neurologic examination was unremarkable. Laboratory tests revealed low serum testosterone and hypocortisolism. MRI showed hypothalamic T2 hyperintensity and contrast enhancement (figure, A). CSF analysis showed moderate lymphocytosis. Cerebral infections and malignancies were excluded. Methylprednisolone was started based on a working-diagnosis of lymphocytic hypothalamitis. After initial improvement, the patient relapsed, with MRI showing limbic involvement (figure, B). Serum and CSF screening was positive for anti-MA2. Ultrasonography showed microcalcification of the right testicle, which was resected. Histology showed focal germ cell neoplasia.

AdenoCarcinoma of the rete Testis
World Journal of Urology, 1996Co-Authors: David B Glazier, K. B. Cummings, Thomas S Vates, Safwat AntounAbstract:AdenoCarcinoma of the rete Testis is a rare tumor. Histologic diagnosis is difficult, and in the past the tumor may have been incorrectly identified in a number of cases, leading to misleading information on the nature and behavior of this neoplasm. We present the case of a 39-year-old man with a long history of a small left hydrocele, who was lost to follow-up and presented again 2 years later with testicular discomfort. Sonographic findings were consistent with a testicular tumor. Histology confirmed low-grade adenoCarcinoma of the rete Testis, the first reported tumor of this grade. Previously reported cases of rete Testis Carcinoma are reviewed.
