Seminom cicatrice. About a case of spontaneous testicular regression

Panminerva Med. 1992 Jul-Sep;34(3):147-50.

Abstract

This is a case of spontaneous regression of a tumour. Only the French Authors speak about this type of seminoma called them "seminome cicatrice". Probably the immunological defences are fundamental for the complete or partial spontaneous resolution of this type of tumour. Here we describe our clinical and surgical approach. The last control was normal with a relapse-free patient.
