Primary carcinoid tumor of the testis with teratoma metastatic to the para-aortic lymph node

Abstract

A primary testicular carcinoid tumor with teratoma metastasized to the para-aortic lymph node. After inguinal orchiectomy, serum and urinary levels of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were found to be elevated. Chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin, etoposide and bleomycin was not effective on the metastatic lesions. Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy normalized the levels of 5-HIAA. The patient is alive without recurrence 25 months after the retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
