[A case of immature teratoma and yolk sac tumor of the testis associated with pulmonary metastases of 2 distinct histological types].
A 24-year-old man presented with right scrotal swelling and was diagnosed as having a testicular cancer. A high inguinal orchiectomy was carried out. Histological examination revealed immature teratoma and yolk sac tumor of the testis. Eight months later, 2 separate metastatic lesions appeared in the lungs, both of which were removed by operation after a course of combination chemotherapy with Etoposide and Cisplatin. The histology showed one to be composed of immature teratoma, and the another of yolk sac tumor.
