چکیده
"Burned-out" testicular tumor is a rare clinical entity. The term "burned-out" actually represents a spontaneously and completely regressed testicular tumor that manifests itself by metastasis to retroperitoneal region and mediastinal, supraclavicular, cervical and axillary lymph nodes. This is a different entity than primary extragonadal testicular tumors and is seen more rarely. Here we present a case diagnosed with "burned-out" testicular tumor and we discuss his clinical, radiological and histopathological features.
