Abstract
Nonseminomatous germ cell testicular neoplasm is a disease cured primarily by platinum-based combination chemotherapy. Operation is reserved for those patients who continue to harbor residual masses after chemotherapy. Locoregional lymph nodes and lungs are common sites for residual deposits. Intracardiac metastases are very rare. We report a case of successful resection of bilateral lung and single intracardiac secondary deposits from a malignant teratoma, treated by orchidectomy 6 years previously.
Keywords: Resection of an intracardiac metastasis from malignant teratoma of the testis.
