This case report describes the first instance of papillary cystadenofibroma of the epididymis in a 46-year-old man, characterized by stromal-filled papillae lined by epithelium and specific immunohistochemical profiles that distinguished it from metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract

We present the first reported case of papillary cystadenofibroma of the epididymis. The tumor occurred in a 46-year-old man. The mass was 3.7 cm and included a hemorrhagic fluid-filled cyst. Microscopically, stromal-filled papillae were lined by low cuboidal to columnar epithelium. Epithelial cells were reactive for cytokeratin 7, cytokeratins AE1/3, and focally in the apical cytoplasm for CD10. Focal CD10 reactivity was also noted in the stroma. The lesion was negative for alpha-fetoprotein. These findings ruled out other lesions, including metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
