Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common malignancy among young men. These are highly chemo-sensitive tumors with high cure rates. More than 95% of patients with testicular cancer present with a painless testicular mass. Here we describe a rare initial presentation of testicular cancer in a previously asymptomatic 22-year-old male who presented with widespread metastatic cannonball lesions in his lungs.
