A rare case of advanced testicular seminoma in a 78-year-old man managed successfully with carboplatin based chemotherapy: a case report

BACKGROUND: Germ cell tumours are uncommon in aged man. We present a rare case of metastatic seminoma of the testis associated with liver and renal insufficiencies in a 78-years-old man managed successfully with carboplatin based chemotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 78 years old man admitted with sign...

description BACKGROUND: Germ cell tumours are uncommon in aged man. We present a rare case of metastatic seminoma of the testis associated with liver and renal insufficiencies in a 78-years-old man managed successfully with carboplatin based chemotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 78 years old man admitted with signs and symptoms suggestive of a testicular cancer with alteration of health. Computed tomography of the pelvis and abdomen showed a large retroperitoneal tumour. The diagnosis of seminoma was established from the histological study of the left orchidectomy. At admission, the liver and renal check-up showed liver and renal insufficiencies. CONCLUSION: The patient received 4 of carboplatin based chemotherapy with significant improvement in symptoms, and complete radiological response.
