Abstract

Spontaneous regression of metastatic neoplasia is rate. A review of previously reported spontaneous regressions of testicular cancer indicates that in no case has such a patient had a prior, concurrent, or subsequent contralateral tumor. The case presented is unusual because it is the first instance of bilateral sequential testicular cancer in which spontaneous regression of metastases from one of the tumors has been noted. Together with a previous report of a spontaneous regression of testicular cancer which occurred only after a second orchiectomy, the present case suggests the possibility of hormonal modulation of tumor growth.

摘要

转移性肿瘤的自发消退很罕见。对先前报道的睾丸癌自发消退病例的回顾表明，此类患者无一例在之前、同时或之后患有对侧肿瘤。本文所呈现的病例不同寻常，因为这是双侧相继发生睾丸癌且其中一个肿瘤的转移灶出现自发消退的首例。连同之前一篇关于睾丸癌自发消退仅在第二次睾丸切除术后才发生的报道，本病例提示了肿瘤生长受激素调节的可能性。
