[Clinical study of aortic co-involvement in lumbo-aortic lymph node metastasis of testicular carcinoma].
The Authors review the international literature about the frequency of vascular involvement (inferior vena cava and aorta) in the lymph node lumbo-aortic metastases of the testicular neoplasm. They report a case of a patient with an aortic involvement from lymph node metastases of a mixed (seminoma and germ cell) cancer of the left testis. They performed en bloc resection of the bulky metastases including the aorta involved. The literature data as well as the outcome of the operated case show a moderate survival also in patients with advanced disease.
