Cancer. 1993 Jun 15;71(12):3979-80. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(19930615)71:12<3979::aid-cncr2820711230>3.0.co;2-r.

Abstract

The clinical course of a patient who presented with a massive left renal metastasis from testicular carcinoma is described. Treatment with cisplatin-based chemotherapy produced a dramatic response. Symptomatic renal metastases from testicular cancer are rare and may be reflective of a high tumor burden or refractory disease.
