Abstract A case report of father-son testicular cancers, both teratocarcinomas, is presented and genetic considerations discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
However, it is present as a component of almost ninety percent of mixed nonseminomatous germ cell tumours. The average age at diagnosis is 31 years, and typically presents as a testicular lump which may be painful.[en.wikipedia.org]
A 50-year-old male presented to us in August 2004 with a history of left-sided testicular swelling.[indianjurol.com]

Whole-body CT scan showed multiple bilateral lung nodules, systemic lymphadenopathies and a mass over the left testis. Biopsies from an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node revealed metastatic testicular teratocarcinoma.[bjid.org.br]
Chest X-ray was normal and ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed para-aortic lymphadenopathy. He underwent a left high inguinal orchidectomy and left hemiscrotectomy.[indianjurol.com]

In 2005 a huge left supraclavicular neckmass with extension to anterior mediastinum appeared. Radical surgical resection of the mass was performed and pathologic examination revealed mature teratoma.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
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]
The most common presentation of pure teratomas is with a painless testicularmass.[radiopaedia.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]
We report a case of cervical mature teratoma appeared 17 years after treatment of testicular teratocarcinoma. A 20-year-old patient underwent left sided orchiectomy followed by systemic therapy and retroperitoneal residual mass resection in 1989.[ncbi.nlm.nih.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]
Adjusting for these and other factors, survival was 60% higher for men treated in a cancer unit that treated the majority of these men, though the unit treated more men with the worst prognosis. [12] Choriocarcinoma of the testicles has the worst prognosis[en.wikipedia.org]

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]

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]
