Abstract

In the context of a post-treatment testicular germ cell tumour, an abdominal lesion found on surveillance CT studies led to a differential diagnosis, including recurrent germ cell tumour. We report the case of a 48-year-old man who was noted to have a new interval soft tissue lesion on a surveillance CT scan, 5 years after initial orchidectomy and chemotherapy. Excision of this lesion and histopathological review revealed an intra-abdominal desmoid.

Keywords: urological cancer; urological surgery.
