Primary retroperitoneal seminoma: an unusual cause of testicular pain
Germ cell tumours in men usually arise from the testes, with only 1–2% originating from other locations. These so-called primary extra-gonadal germ cell tumours (EGCTs) are rare, accounting for 0.15–0.2% of all malignancies. They are characterized by their midline location, and have been reported to occur anywhere from the pineal gland to the coccyx, with the commonest locations being the media...
متن کاملPrimary retroperitoneal seminoma - embryology, histopathology and treatment particularities.
INTRODUCTION Retroperitoneal seminoma is a very rare form of cancer, with embryological origin represented by primordial germ cells from the urogenital ridges left behind during the fetal development. Extragenital germ cell tumors can also occur in the mediastinum or the pineal gland. The aim of this paper is to outline the particularities and draw embryological, histopatological and treatment ...
متن کاملRetroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection as Primary Treatment for Metastatic Seminoma
Reducing the long-term morbidity in testicular cancer survivors represents a major area of interest. External beam radiation therapy and systemic chemotherapy are established treatments for seminoma; however, they are associated with late toxicities such as cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and secondary malignancy. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a standard treatment...

Whether these develop primarily in the retroperitoneum or are metastases of a primary testicular tumor has long been debated. We report a 38-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with retroperitoneal s...
