An ultrasound (Figure 1) revealed an 8 mm x 8 mm x 6 mm intratesticular mass with calcifications.

A 0.9 cm well-circumscribed, firm tan-white nodule was identified in the testicular hilum (Figure 2).
(a) Closer view of gross specimen
demonstrating discrete white nodule which was firm. (b) A spindle cell
proliferation was intimately associated with unremarkable ductules within the
rete testis. (c) Higher power view
illustrating bland spindled cell proliferation without mitotic activity.

Microscopic examination (Figure 3, upper right and lower panels) revealed the nodule to be comprised of a well-demarcated, nodular proliferation of bland spindle cells within the mediastinum testis.
