Germ cell neoplasms are relatively uncommon but highly curable when recognized and treated properly. They most commonly present as a testicular mass and have high tendency to hematogenous spread; thus, more than 70% of patients have metastases at the time of diagnosis. Usually they develop retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, then spread into the thoracic region and reach the cervical region finally.

Abstract

Germ cell neoplasms are relatively uncommon but highly curable when recognized and treated properly. They most commonly present as a testicular mass and have high tendency to hematogenous spread; thus, more than 70% of patients have metastases at the time of diagnosis. Usually they develop retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, then spread into the thoracic region and reach the cervical region finally.
