Abstract

A case of orchioblastoma in a two-and-one-half-year-old boy treated with orchiectomy and lymph node dissection is presented. Review of previously reported cases of orchioblastoma and embryonal cell carcinoma in boys reveals that these tumors differ in histologic appearance, but their pathophysiologic behavior and prognosis are similar. As with embryonal cell carcinoma, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection has improved the survival of patients with orchioblastoma.
