We present a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in an otherwise healthy 18-year-old man who presented with melena. Endoscopy revealed an ulcerated mass in the stomach and pathology confirmed this to be a malignant, poorly differentiated choriocarcinoma. Further imaging showed a left testicular mass with evidence of pulmonary, gastric, and brain metastases, and blood tests revealed an hCG level of 32,219 U/L. He was diagnosed with advanced metastatic testicular choriocarcinoma and underwent intensive induction chemotherapy and an orchidectomy. Metastatic testicular choriocarcinoma is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding.
我们报告一例18岁身体健康的男性上消化道出血病例,该患者表现为黑便。内镜检查发现胃内有一个溃疡肿物,病理证实为恶性、低分化绒毛膜癌。进一步影像学检查显示左侧睾丸肿物,并伴有肺、胃和脑转移的证据,血液检查显示人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)水平为32219 U/L。他被诊断为晚期转移性睾丸绒毛膜癌,并接受了强化诱导化疗和睾丸切除术。转移性睾丸绒毛膜癌是上消化道出血的罕见原因。
