Metachronous testicular seminoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy: a case report

Abstract

Background

Bilateral testicular neoplasia is rare, with an incidence ranging from 1 to 5 %. Long-term survival has improved in recent years due to advanced diagnostic approaches and new therapeutic methods that are highly effective against germ cell tumors.

Case presentation

We present the case of a patient with a primary seminomatous testicular tumor, who developed a contralateral metastasis and a subsequent metachronous tumor following chemotherapy and consolidation radiotherapy treatment.

Conclusions

Strict follow-up, including physical examination and ultrasound examination of the contralateral testis, enabled early diagnosis of the second tumor, giving the patient a high likelihood of a definitive cure.
