[Transarterial embolization in metastatic retroperitoneal tumor].
A case of retroperitoneal metastasis of a malignant testicular tumor treated by transarterial embolization (TAE) is reported. The tumor feeders were the intercostal and lumbar arteries. Improvement of the patient's condition could be obtained by TAE. It is suggested that TAE has some effectiveness for chemoresistant, radio-resistant or inoperable cases of metastatic retroperitoneal tumors.
