RESUMO
By describing 3 clinical cases of unusual testicular non germinal tumors, including an adenoma of the rete testis, an undifferenciated sex cord tumor and a mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis, we make a literature review of the unusual testicular tumors and testicular apendix, including their incidence and management. Also and as one of our conclusions, we expose the importance of the intraoperatory biopsy in the testicular cancer surgery, because even if it is infrecuent, the presence of this rare testicular tumors, in which if they are proven to be benign, the testicular unit could be preserved and the radical orquiectomy could be avoided.

A propósito de tres casos clínicos con tumores de histología infrecuente del testículo que incluyen el adenoma de la rete testis, el tumor indiferenciado de los cordones sexuales y el mesotelioma de la túnica vaginal, se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de los tumores inusuales del testículo y sus anexos, incluyendo su incidencia y manejo. Finalmente y a manera de conclusión, se explica la importancia de la biopsia rápida en el caso de los tumores testiculares dado que, aunque infrecuente, si ésta resultara benigna, podría evitarse la orquectomía radical y realizar una cirugía conservadora
