Retroperitoneal and metachronous testicular germ cell tumors with different histology and teratoma growing syndrome--a case report

Coll Antropol. 2011 Sep;35(3):937-40.

Abstract

It is presented a case of a 32-year-old male with the three primary tumors diagnosed within a time period of 3 years; retroperitoneal nonseminoma in 2002, retroperitoneal mature teratoma in 2004, and metachronous testicular seminoma in 2005. We discuss the unusual presentation of these three rare events occurring in the same patient without known risk factors.
