A case of cervical spinal mass with cord compression and rib bone metastasis from presumably burned-out seminomatous testicular germ cell tumor.

A case of cervical spinal mass with cord compression and rib bone metastasis from presumably burned-out seminomatous testicular germ cell tumor. Can J Urol. 2019 Jun;26(3):9799-9801 Authors: Wu AH, Kaur S, Peng S, Kapoor A, Maroules M Abstract Most germ cell tumors are located in the gonads however there are instances where these tumors are located elsewhere in which are termed extragonadal germ cell tumors. When primary lesion of the testicular tumor has regressed, the term "burned-out testicular tumor" has been proposed. We herein report the first case of burned-out seminoma of the testis presenting as a cervical spinal mass causing cord compression with bone metastasis. PMID: 31180313 [PubMed - in process]
