We describe, in a young boy, a case of neuroblastoma presenting only as a painless unilateral testicular mass. Clinical and laboratory evidence of disseminated neuroblastoma was first apparent nine months after high orchiectomy. As far as we are aware this is the only reported instance of testicular neuroblastoma in the absence of disseminated disease. Discussion is directed to the possible explanations for this rare testicular lesion, and in addition, underlines the potential difficulties in the diagnosis of certain small cell tumors.
