[A case of intratubular germ cell tumor giving rise to seminoma in a subfertile man].
A 34-year-old man visited our hospital with the complaint of right scrotal swelling. Right high orchiectomy was performed under the diagnosis of testicular tumor. Pathological examination was seminoma, pT2pN0pM0 and 3 courses of chemotherapy (cisplatin, vinblastine, bleomycin) were performed. The patient had undergone testicular biopsy for infertility at another hospital 6 years before this visit. Re-examination of the biopsy specimen revealed a intratubular germ cell tumor. No evidence of recurrence or metastasis was found 2 years after surgery.
