OBJECTIVE: To review the different aspects of epididymal tumors, with special reference to adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis (mesothelial neoplasm). Two such cases are reported herein. METHODS: Two cases of adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis are described. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment are discussed, within the context of the algorithm recently presented by Pellicé and co-workers. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Most of the epididymal tumors are benign and treatment using a scrotal approach will suffice. However, inguinotomy should be performed when the benign nature of the tumor cannot be established unequivocally.
The histological changes caused by endocrinological action on the female epithelium are known and well-documented. These have been described in the bladder and attention has been focussed to the anatomo-clinical implications. A review of the literature with special reference to organogenetic, clinical and hormonal aspects prompted us to consider the cervico-trigonal epithelium as being particularly interesting in determining the histological changes arising from endocrine action. With hormonal influence as our working hypothesis, a morphological study of the trigonal epithelium was conducted in males with hyperestrogenism. Light and scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of new glandular-like structures resembling the female endometrium with clearly evident metaplastic etiology and dynamics mediated by hormonal action.
A case of metastatic melanoma in the right suprarenal gland is presented. It manifested as a mass and paraneoplastic syndrome. We put forward a set of considerations on the differential diagnosis of suprarenal masses, and the diagnostic use of several tests taken in conjunction (echography, computer tomography, percutaneous punctures).

OBJECTIVES: A rare case of Sertoli cell tumor of the testis is described. The problems associated with this tumor type and the importance of the differential diagnosis are discussed. METHODS/RESULTS: The clinical features of a patient with Sertoli cell tumor in a cryptorchid testis are presented. CONCLUSIONS: It is recognized that there is a higher incidence of tumors in undescended testis and among these are Sertoli cell tumors.
