In 2014, the patient had mixed germ cell tumours and had a right radical orchiectomy and was treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy for lungs which developed secondary metastasis. After treatment, he went into remission and remained disease free for the next ten years. In 2024, he presented with abdominal pain, and imaging revealed an obstructive duodenal mass, histopathologically confirmed as metastatic germ cell cancer. Despite surgical intervention and chemotherapy, the patient succumbed to pneumonia.
This case highlights the rare but possible late gastrointestinal
metastasis of testicular cancer.[
