We detail the case history of a patient with Stage I seminoma, who developed an elevated level of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) while on follow-up. It transpired that the patient had injected himself with hCG several days before. This type of abuse has been documented, but this is the first reported case of it interfering with the follow-up of a patient with a germ cell tumour.
我们详细介绍了一名I期精原细胞瘤患者的病史,该患者在随访期间人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)水平升高。结果发现,该患者在几天前自行注射了hCG。这种滥用情况已有记录,但这是首例报告的此类滥用干扰生殖细胞肿瘤患者随访的病例。
