Abstract
A 31-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of painful right scrotal swelling. Based on the diagnosis of right testicular tumor with multiple lung metastasis and L2 vertebral body metastasis, right high orchiectomy and three courses of chemotherapy (peplomycin, etoposide, CDDP) were performed. Histological diagnosis was teratocarcinoma. With the complete remission for lung metastasis and no change for bone metastasis, L2 spondylectomy and additional four courses of the same chemotherapy were performed. The patient has been free of the disease for 11 months after the spondylectomy.
