title: Abdominal pain as a presenting symptom of male germ cell tumour.
abstract: Twenty-three patients who presented with abdominal pain and were found to have germ cell tumours have been reviewed. The overall survival of these patients was no different from the survival of those presenting with testicular swellings. Intra-abdominal germ cell tumour remains an important differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in men.
