Pure testicular seminomas occurring in patients with previous intracranial germ cell tumours are extremely rare. We present such a case. A 37-year-old gentleman presented to urology after previously being treated for a pineal germinoma with steroids and radiotherapy. On routine followup, he described symptoms of a testicular seminoma. This was managed surgically with radical orchidectomy. We discuss the possible causes of such an association with a review of the literature.
既往有颅内生殖细胞肿瘤的患者发生纯睾丸精原细胞瘤极为罕见。我们报告这样一例病例。一名37岁男性,此前因松果体生殖细胞瘤接受了类固醇和放疗,之后前来泌尿外科就诊。在常规随访中,他描述了睾丸精原细胞瘤的症状。对此进行了根治性睾丸切除术的手术治疗。我们结合文献回顾讨论了这种关联的可能原因。
