Abstract
A case of "burned-out" tumour of the testis in a 20-year-old man is reported. The tumour presented as widespread retroperitoneal metastases. Orchiectomy displayed a subalbugineal fibrous scar close to the rete testis. Diagnostic biopsy of the unresectable retroperitoneal tumour showed a choriocarcinoma. Although appropriate chemotherapy was promptly started, the patient died 7 months after the initial complaints.Entities:
