Abstract

The metastasis of testicular choriocarcinoma are often hemorrhagic, primarily of cerebral or pulmonary seat. The secondary digestive localizations are rare and of bad forecast when they bleed. The surgical operation by laparotomy allows the topographic diagnosis and the treatment, but was made responsible for hemorrhagic decompensation of other metastatic localizations engaging the vital forecast.
