CASE 34

A 28-year-old man noticed a small mass on his right testicle during self examination. Concerned, he visited an oncologic specialist. The specialist also detected a small mass on the right testicle upon palpation. Laboratory tests showed that α-fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotrophin levels were elevated in the patient’s blood. A computed tomography scan revealed involvement of lymph nodes. A radical inguinal orchiectomy was performed. Pathologic evaluation of the excised testicle led to the diagnosis of choriocarcinoma.
