Huge right ventricular mass revealing a testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumor

Abstract: Here, we describe the world's first reported case of intraventricular metastasis from a nonseminomatous germ cell tumor of the testis which occupies almost all the right ventricular volume and extending to the root of pulmonary artery that underwent surgical resection of the ventricular mass before chemotherapy.

“…El Ouazzani et al [1] nicely described the clinical picture and imaging and anatomopathological findings as well as treatment protocol of huge right ventricular mass secondary to a testicular germ cell tumor (GCT) in a Moroccan patient. I presume that the rare occurrence of intraventricular metastasis of that testicular GCT should alert the authors to consider compromised immune status in the studied patient.…”
