Résumé
A 29-year-old patient presented to his primary care provider complaining of a painful right inguinal swelling. He was referred for inguinal hernia repair, but during surgery, an enlarged necrotic-appearing testicle was observed and removed. Pathology demonstrated a mixed non-seminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT) with evidence of tumor violation. After receiving BEPx3 for elevated post-operative AFP his tumor markers normalized. On surveillance, he was found to have several palpable masses around his inguinal incision. On soft tissue excision he was found to have residual teratoma within his soft tissues. We review the literature on germ cell tumor seeding and atypical recurrences.
