title: Embryonal carcinoma of the testis after acute myelomonocytic leukemia: a case report.
abstract: A case of embryonal carcinoma of the testis after acute myelomonocytic leukemia is reported. The interval between the initial diagnosis of leukemia and the appearance of embryonal carcinoma was almost three years. Although the patient had received neither irradiation nor alkylating agents, the case is regarded as one of secondary malignancy. Possible contributing factors are discussed.
