Abstract: The aim was to present a case report depicting the gradual onset of symptomatic testicular sarcoma. It was histopathologically proven as sarcoma and a small component of conventional seminoma. The patient presented to us with complaints of left testicular swelling, abdominal pain, and weight loss. The patient was treated with a left radical orchidectomy and left double J stenting. Sarcomas encompass a diverse array of malignant tumors arising from mesenchymal tissues, characterized by their rarity. They constitute less than 1% of all malignancies in adults and approximately 12% in pediatric populations. Most primary testicular tumors originate from germ cells. Testicular sarcoma has a good prognosis after surgical resection of localized tumors, while patients with distant metastasis have a poorer prognosis. Treatment option includes radical orchidectomy and post-operative chemotherapy.
