Clinical examination revealed a right adult -head-sized testicular tumor, multiple lymph node metastasis with marked elevation of serum lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and β -human chorionic gonadotropin (β -HCG). Right high orchiectomy followed by chemotherapy with bleomysin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP) for 4 cycles was performed. The tumor weighed 5,270 g, and was pathologically diagnosed as seminoma.
