  Case report A 22-year-old male patient complaining of right-sided upper abdominal pain. [link.springer.com]

• Neck Mass

  In 2005 a huge left supraclavicular neck mass with extension to anterior mediastinum appeared. Radical surgical resection of the mass was performed and pathologic examination revealed mature teratoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Testicular Mass

  Case : The patient was a 29-year-old male with a right testicular mass, measuring 8.5×7.5×8.0 cm in diameter. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

  Testicular cancer begins as a scrotal mass, which is usually not painful. Diagnosis is by ultrasonography. [merckmanuals.com]

  At a Glance When a patient discovers a usually painless testicular mass, either unintentionally or by self-examination, or when a testicular mass is discovered by routine physical examination, testicular cancer should be suspected. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  Non-Seminomatous Germ Cell Tumors • Embryonal Carcinoma • 25 - 35 years • 3 - 6% testicular tumors • small, rounded, irregular mass • invades tunica albuginea • Yolk Sac Tumor/ Endodermal Sinus Tumor • most common testicular tumor in infants & children [slideshare.net]

  A painless testicular mass is the classic presentation for testicular cancer, although a number of patients present with diffuse pain or swelling. Ultrasonography may be helpful in confirming the presence of a scrotal mass within the testicle. [aafp.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]

• Left Pleural Effusion

  Chest x-ray documented left pleural effusion. 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]

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]

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]

These help in the diagnosis and prognosis of testicular cancers. Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a tumor marker that helps in diagnosing germ cell (non-seminoma) carcinoma. AFP is also a useful tool for monitoring recurrence and treatment response. [medindia.net]

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]

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]

Surveillance is not used as often for seminomas because the morbidity of 2 wk of radiation therapy is so low and the results in preventing late relapse so high that there is less reason to try to avoid treatment. [merckmanuals.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]
