Ovarian-type epithelial tumors are histologically classified into cystadenomas, borderline tumors, and carcinomas. We herein report a case involving a 60-year-old man with a primary borderline mucinous tumor of the testis. He underwent orchiectomy and has developed no recurrence for 4 years.

We also herein review the literature and discuss the etiology, prognosis, and treatment of mucinous tumors of the testes.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/863745
