ABSTRACT
Retroperitoneal hemorrhage is a rare and life-threatening clinical presentation that may occur in patients with advanced germ cell tumors, typically after chemotherapy. Rapid clinical suspicion is crucial to oï¬er the best treatment. Surgery is usually recommended but dismal complications may occur. We report on a man with metastatic testicular cancer presenting with massive spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage that had not received previous systemic treatment and was managed without surgical treatment, with good clinical outcome.
