[Testicular cancer metastatic to multiple organs including the stomach, kidneys, and skin: a case report].
A 39-year-old man whose chief complaints were general fatigue and bloody phlegm was diagnosed with testicular cancer and underwent left high orchiectomy at an affiliated hospital. The histopathologic diagnosis was chorio carcinoma. Several imaging examinations revealed the metastases in the lung, liver, brain, stomach, kidneys and skin. In spite of various chemotherapies, he died 17 months after the operation. Skin metastasis of testicular cancer is very rare and this is the twelfth case reported in the world, to our knowledge. The significance of skin metastasis in testicular cancer is discussed.
