Cancer. 1983 Nov 15;52(10):1957-8. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(19831115)52:10<1957::aid-cncr2820521030>3.0.co;2-b.

Abstract

This is a report of a metastasis of a pure seminoma to the ileum after a 17-year latent period. The patient had a previous history of stage I testicular seminoma treated with primary orchiectomy and radiotherapy. He presented clinically with ileocolic intussuseption caused by a solitary metastasis in the terminal ileum. The rarity of this event is discussed.
