Mediastinal seminoma is a rare malignant tumor, and the current strategy for primary mediastinal seminomas is making a prompt diagnosis and achieving an appropriate chemotherapy. However, consensus regarding the optimal post-chemotherapy management has not been reached. We experienced a case of 26-year-old man who was diagnosed mediastinal seminoma and evaluated the response to induction chemotherapy with fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). Complete surgical excision of the tumor was performed. Pathologic findings of the surgical specimen showed no viable cells in the tumor.
纵隔精原细胞瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，目前对于原发性纵隔精原细胞瘤的治疗策略是迅速诊断并进行适当的化疗。然而，关于化疗后最佳管理方案尚未达成共识。我们诊治了一名26岁男性纵隔精原细胞瘤患者，并通过氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（FDG-PET/CT）评估了诱导化疗的反应。随后对肿瘤进行了完整的手术切除。手术标本的病理检查结果显示肿瘤内无存活细胞。
