Testicular cancer is a common neoplasm in young and middle-aged men. Although, the most common presentation is a palpable testicular mass, it can present with atypical symptoms. There is a lack of awareness among primary-care physicians about the less common presentations of testicular tumours. Early detection is a key prognostic variable. Fever, weight loss, sweating and pain in the abdomen for 4 months in an adult man has multiple differential diagnoses especially if epigastric mass is present. We are presenting an interesting case of fever, weight loss, pain and mass epigastrium and generalised lymphadenopathy which proved to be a testicular germ cell tumour without any testicular symptoms and with normal tumour markers.
睾丸癌是中青年男性中常见的肿瘤。虽然最常见的表现是可触及的睾丸肿块,但也可能出现非典型症状。基层医疗医生对睾丸肿瘤较不常见的表现缺乏认识。早期发现是关键的预后变量。成年男性持续4个月的发热、体重减轻、出汗和腹痛有多种鉴别诊断,尤其是存在上腹部肿块时。我们现报告一例有趣的病例,患者有发热、体重减轻、上腹部疼痛和肿块以及全身淋巴结肿大,结果证实是一例无任何睾丸症状且肿瘤标志物正常的睾丸生殖细胞肿瘤。
