A case report of father-son testicular cancers, both teratocarcinomas, is presented and genetic considerations discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In addition, patients with symptomatic disease and patients presenting with visceral metastases carried a poor prognosis [ 2 ].[wjso.biomedcentral.com]
The incidence of this disease is increasing—the lifetime risk for a man is now about one in 200 in the United Kingdom. 1 Presentation is usually with a painless lump.[bmj.com]
Case : The patient was a 29-year-old male with a right testicularmass, measuring 8.5 7.5 8.0 cm in diameter.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
At a Glance When a patient discovers a usually painless testicularmass, either unintentionally or by self-examination, or when a testicularmass is discovered by routine physical examination, testicular cancer should be suspected.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Investigations • All patients with a solid, firm intra-testicularmass that cannot be transilluminated should be regarded as malignant unless otherwise proved. • Scrotal Ultrasound - • rapid, reliable technique • hypoechoic area within the tunica albuginea[slideshare.net]
The most common presentation of pure teratomas is with a painless testicularmass.[radiopaedia.org]
One fifth to two thirds of patients with tumours composed predominantly of embryonal carcinoma have metastases at diagnosis. [1] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] The presenting features may be a palpable testicularmass or asymmetric testicular enlargement[en.wikipedia.org]
Metastatic Workup After the diagnosis is confirmed by radical inguinal orchiectomy, further studies should include repeated markers for hCG (wait 1 week) and AFP (wait 4 weeks) and CT of the chest and abdomen.[flylib.com]
Chest x-ray documented leftpleuraleffusion. Cultures from thoracentesis grew out Acremonium strictum and intravenous liposomal amphotericin B was given at a dose of 200 mg daily. On treatment, fever subsided but dyspnea worsened.[bjid.org.br]
Lehman et al. reported a case of retroperitoneal mature teratoma 15 years after initial treatment of testicular germ cell tumor [ 13 ]. Late relapse was observed up to 32 years after initial treatment [ 7 ].[link.springer.com]

On treatment, fever subsided but dyspnea worsened. Whole-body CT scan showed multiple bilateral lung nodules, systemic lymphadenopathies and a mass over the left testis.[bjid.org.br]
Only risk factors, treatment possibilities, and survival results are extensively examined. Stimulated by the occurrence in his practice of some puzzling and unexpected metastases, the author reviewed more than 12,000 references.[books.google.com]
[…] represent the principal predisposing factors. 2 As for the respiratory system, Acremonium strictum has been associated with two types of lesions: multiple bilateral nodules with no halo sign (4 cases) and pleuritis (2 cases including ours). 1–5 The prognosis[bjid.org.br]

Germ cell tumors (germinoma, 90643; germ cell tumor, nonseminomatous, 90653) Seminoma (90613, 90623, 90663; most common 40-50%; slow to spread; more likely to occur in older patients; highly radiosensitive; good prognosis) Non-Seminoma (teratoma and embryonal[training.seer.cancer.gov]
Prognosis of Testicular Cancer (Teratoma of the Testicle) As with many malignancies, early diagnosis and intervention are critical to subsequent prognosis in patients with testicular cancer.[myvmc.com]
Etiology • Cryptorchidism • Intersex disorder • Testicular atrophy • Chromosomal abnormalities - loss of chromosome 11, 13, 18, abnormal chromosome 12p. • Exogenous estrogen administration to mother during pregnancy • Carcinoma-in-situ • Previous testicular[slideshare.net]
(Etiology) The cause of Teratoma of the Testis is unknown.[dovemed.com]

No clear etiologic or genetic factors have been defined; however, 10% of patients have a history of an undescended testis, 50% of which were intraabdominal. Testis cancers will be bilateral in 2% to 3% of cases, either concurrent or in succession.[flylib.com]
While the clinical evidence for the involvement of genetic factors in the etiology of GCT is undisputed, the assumed Testicular GCT 1 gene has so far not been identified [ 41 ].[bmcurol.biomedcentral.com]

Rates are lowest in Asia and Africa and intermediate in Central and South America. [6] Epidemiologic observations have suggested that environmental factors are instrumental in determining risk for testicular cancers.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology The cause of testicular cancer is not known. The characteristic genetic change found is an isochromosome of the short arm of chromosome 12 [i(12p)], which is often seen in sporadic cancers.[emedicine.medscape.com]

So, this case represents an exceptional example showing the low efficacy of chemotherapy to prevent sequential testicular neoplasms. (3) Two brothers of case #2 had suffered from testicular cancer, too, one of whom had even bilateral disease.[bmcurol.biomedcentral.com]
