Mucinous borderline tumour of the testis configures as an extremely exceptional, primary mucinous tumour comprised of ovarian subtype of surface epithelium. Tumefaction is endowed with borderline malignant potential. Mucinous borderline tumour predominantly emerges as an intra-testicular or para-testicular tumefaction. Of obscure genesis, ovarian subtype of mucinous surface epithelial tumour arising within testis and para-testis is posited to emerge from Müllerian remnants or may arise due to metaplasia of mesothelium layering the tunica vaginalis
