RESUMO
We present a rare case of a 42-year-old man diagnosed with a placental site trophoblastic tumor in combination with teratoma in a mediastinal recurrence of a testicular germ cell tumor post-orchiectomy and chemotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the eighth case of placental site trophoblastic tumor in a male reported so far in the English literature. The purpose of this case report is to add data to the existing literature, review the literature, discuss the differential diagnoses with emphasis on morphologic and immunohistochemical differences between trophoblastic tumors, and highlight the management implications of a correct diagnosis.
