A man in his forties was operated on for testicular cancer on the right-side with subsequent radiotherapy. Two years later, another tumor was found on the opposite side and surgically removed, followed by polychemotherapy. In the follow-up period, CT scanning and ultrasound showed large abdominal masses which were suspected to be metastases. Before initiating four cycles of chemotherapy, we checked their nature by Doppler sonography and found them to be recently developed abdominal varices due to an alcoholic liver cirrhosis. We were able to demonstrate that Doppler sonography can provide further information and is easy to use.

D018239 Seminoma A radiosensitive, malignant neoplasm of the testis, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. There are three variants: classical (typical), the most common type; anaplastic; and spermatocytic. The classical seminoma is composed of fairly well differentiated sheets or cords of uniform polygonal or round cells (seminoma cells), each cell having abundant clear cytoplasm, distinct cell membranes, a centrally placed round nucleus, and one or more nucleoli. In the female, a grossly and histologically identical neoplasm, known as dysgerminoma, occurs. (Dorland, 27th ed) Seminomas
