Unusual Case of Large Conglomerate Mass in Abdomen
Keywords:
metastatic testicular seminoma; abdominal pain; abdominal distention
Abstract
Testicular seminoma commonly occurs in young men aged between 15 and 45 years old. Those with testicular cancer may present with a lump or swelling in the testicle. If treated and managed early, patients can expect a greater than 90% success rate. However, advanced stages of testicular seminoma can lead to eventual metastasis. We present a 45-year-old male patient with a prior history of testicular seminoma who was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal distension and mild abdominal pain. The CT identified a rather sizable abdominal mass and the biopsy report confirmed metastatic testicular seminoma. This patient is currently on active chemotherapy with bleomycin, cisplatin, and etoposide.
