title: An adult patient with a mixed germ cell tumor of the spermatic cord.
abstract: 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.
