An unusual neoplasm of Epididymis: Basaloid Carcinoma.
J Pak Inst Med Sci Jan ;13(2):702-6.

Carcinoma of epididymis is a rare entity, and basaloid carcinoma of epididymis has not been reported before. Here we report a case of basaloid carcinoma of the epididymis in a young Saudi man. Microscopically the tumor was widely infiltrating the stroma and showed marked apoptosis and necrosis. The tumor cells were rather uniform, basaloid and contained many abnormal mitoses. The tumor was positive for keratin. Electronmicroscopically it showed tight intercellular junctions. Although the prognosis for epididymal carcinoma is usually bad but long term disease free periods have been documented.
