Abnormal liver enzymes and human chorionic gonadotropin elevation in abdominal testicular seminoma.
A case of seminoma in an abdominal testis is presented in which abnormal liver enzyme as well as elevated human chorionic gonadotropin levels were present which returned to normal after surgical extirpation of the primary lesion. A review of pertinent literature and implications of these unusual findings are presented.
