一个克服睾丸癌污名的案例

Abstract

Testicular cancer is seen commonly in young males and has a high cure rate if diagnosed and treated early. It clinically presents with painless testicular swelling. We discuss the case of a young previously healthy male with an aggressive testicular cancer which started with a testicular swelling but the primary site underwent necrosis secondary to its own vascular demand thus giving the false impression of resolution, but not before metastasizing to the rest of the body. With this case, we aim to highlight the importance of increasing awareness of testicular cancer and its presenting symptoms in young males and the need to overcome the stigma around the evaluation of testicular swellings.
