Retroperitoneal seminoma with 'burned out' phenomenon in the testis

Petros Perimenis et al. Int J Urol. 2005 Jan.

Abstract

The rare 'burned out' phenomenon in germ cell tumors is known as the presence of an extragonadal germ cell tumor without traces of neoplasm in the testis. This condition is different and less common from the primary extragonadal germ cell malignancies. These malignancies are treated surgically with or without adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy and their prognosis is better than that of other types of primary extragonadal tumors.
