[Pulmonary metastases from a testicular cancer].
Testicular tumors are rare diseases affecting young males, but their incidence is increasing. They are curable in 80% of the cases. Treatment is accomplished by removal of the testis, combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, depending on the stage of the tumor. The article presents the case of a testicular tumor with numerous bilateral pulmonary metastasis and lymph nodes involvement, interesting by his rarity and also by specific radiological images.
