Could aberrant migration explain metachronous germ cell tumors?
CONCLUSION: These rare cases should alert clinicians of the possibility of multiple GCTs that should not be considered to be relapses. The underlying physiopathology is unknown, but multiple PGC mismigrations is a likely cause. Initial treatment with cisplatin may select chemo-resistant clones, thereby making the subsequent treatment more of a challenge.
