Carcinoid tumors of testis are very rare and account for <1% of all testicular neoplasms. Clinically, they can be diagnosed only when there is a metastatic spread or presence of carcinoid syndrome. Mostly, they are diagnosed on histopathology. We report a case of primary carcinoid tumor of testis in a 34-year-old male without associated carcinoid syndrome. Patient underwent radical orchidectomy and is doing well on follow-up. Testicular carcinoid tumors, though rare, should be considered in differential diagnosis when evaluating a testicular tumor. They carry a good prognosis; however, long-term follow-up is necessitated due to potential for delayed metastasis.
