RESUMO
Retroperitoneal tumors (RTs) are frequently found as large masses upon diagnosis. Within the differential diagnosis of RTs, one of the most important are germ cell tumors. We report here the case of a 30 year old man with a recurrent RT involving the inferior vena cava (IVC). Once discussed, he underwent a tumor resection with a primary IVC reconstruction maintaining vessel patency. On histopathology, a mixed germ cell tumor was reported. The patient recovered well and he was discharged from the hospital without complications.
