An adult patient with a mixed germ cell tumor of the spermatic cord.
Tumors of the spermatic cord are very rare, and approximately one half of all primary spermatic cord tumors are malignant. We report the presentation and treatment of an adult (36-year-old) patient with a mixed germ cell tumor that originated in the spermatic cord. No similar cases of mixed tumors of the spermatic cord in adults have been reported.
