The Department of Urology, Showa University Koto Toyosu Hospital.

The patient was a 54-year-old man. At age 6 years, he had undergone orchiopexy for left undescended testis. Six months prior to the current presentation, he visited our hospital with a chief complaint of painless enlargement of the left testis. Left high orchiectomy was performed under a diagnosis of left testicular tumor. Histopathological examination determined the tumor to be a seminoma (pT2). Postoperatively, the patient was placed on surveillance without preventive radiation treatment. He visited our hospital six months after surgery due to a painless mass in the right inguinal region. All tumor markers (AFP, HCG-β, and LDH) were within normal ranges. However, based on ultrasound and CT scan findings, lymph node metastasis was suspected and a right inguinal lymph node excision was thus performed. Histopathological examination led to the diagnosis of seminoma.

D001761 Bleomycin A complex of related glycopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces verticillus consisting of bleomycin A2 and B2. It inhibits DNA metabolism and is used as an antineoplastic, especially for solid tumors.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D003456 Cryptorchidism A developmental defect in which a TESTIS or both TESTES failed to descend from high in the ABDOMEN to the bottom of the SCROTUM. Testicular descent is essential to normal SPERMATOGENESIS which requires temperature lower than the BODY TEMPERATURE. Cryptorchidism can be subclassified by the location of the maldescended testis.
