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.
“…1 The cardiac presentation of a primary testicular germ cell tumor (GCT) has been rarely reported. 2 Here, we present a case of a metastatic testicular carcinoma presenting as right heart failure in a 29-year-old man.…”

“…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.…”
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.
