Abstract:
A 32 year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of nausea, vomiting, fever and abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed lower abdominal mass associated with severe peritoneal irritation sign. The right testis was not palpated. Though the tumor might be the abdominal cryptorchid testis tumor. the other surgical abdominal conditions of non-urologic origin couldn't be rouled out. So, we performed emergent exploration. The mass had been ruptured and adhered to sigmoid colon. Histological examination revealed mixed germ cell tumor, composed of yolk sac tumor and classic seminoma. We performed systemic chemotherapy with bleomycin. etoposide and cisplatin under diagnosis of mixed germ cell tumor of stage III B-5.
