Post-orchidectomy retroperitoneal seminoma: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Between 2 and 5% of malignant germ cell tumors in males arise at extragonadal sites. The origin of extragonadal retroperitoneal germ cell tumors remains controversial. 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 seminoma. The patient gave a history of having undergone a right orchidectomy for an undescended testis via the inguinal route 10 years previously with a reported histology of benign inflammatory mass.

A 29-year-old man, who had a history of seminoma, presented with a single retroperitoneal mass suspected to be a metastasis. Because the patient re...

The results of treatment for patients with seminoma of the testis by orchidectomy and irradiation are so satisfactory that retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is no longer practised. However, this operation is still used routinely in some centres for patients with testicular teratomas despite the lack of evidence that it gives better results than those obtained with irradiation followed by re...
