[Acute low digestive hemorrhage in testicular choriocarcinoma].
We report a case in which acute intestinal hemorrhage was the initial manifestation in the evolution of choriocarcinoma of the testis. The diagnosis of bleeding was difficult and required laparotomy. Metastatic lesion of the small bowel should be considered a possible cause of intestinal bleeding in patients with testicular choriocarcinoma.
