Testicular germ cell regression is a rare, generally metastatic phenomenon which describes the spontaneous, complete, or partial regression of a testicular germ cell tumour. As a result, studies have focused on defining specific histopathological criteria to establish if the resected testis is the primary source of the germ cell tumour. There are few publications which describe its presentation in the absence of distant metastases with elevated tumour markers and suspicious findings on testicular ultrasound. We present the clinical presentation and radiological features of a non-metastatic regressed testicular germ cell tumour following scrotal trauma in a post pubertal male.
A 39-year-old female with multiple necrotic cutaneous ulcerations as a
presenting finding of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis(GPA)is
reported.Failing to respond to initial immunosuppressant therapy
revealed a complicating codiagnosis of alpha-antitrypson
deficiency(AAD).We outline the importance of this clinical association
and advise that AAD should be considered in all cases of GPA
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
