ABSTRACT
A 33-year-old man had a 1-year history of a painless testicular mass and a 2-month history of an enlarging left supraclavicular mass. Biopsy of the supraclavicular mass showed classical seminoma. Massive abdominal lymphadenopathy was demonstrated by computerized tomography. Radical orchiectomy was performed and examination of the specimen showed only fibrous scar tissue consistent with regression of a primary tumor in the testis. While complete regression of a primary testicular tumor with progressive growth of metastases is well recognized in cases of nonseminomatous germ cell tumors, this phenomenon is reported rarely with seminoma.
