Testicular tumours are a group of heterogenous neoplasms seen commonly in men between the ages of 15 and 35 years. The two main types are seminoma and non-seminomatous germ cell tumour (NSGCT). Testicular cancers are highly treatable and usually curable, even if they present at an advanced stage of the disease with a five-year survival rate of over 95 percent. The symptoms at initial presentation can vary depending on the metastasis, but a nodule or painless swelling of testicle is usually noted. In this case report we will study how a patient with metastatic testicular tumour presents with symptoms indicative of gastrointestinal infection of acute nature with no associated features. We will review current literature on testicular cancers, reasons for delay in treatment and its impact on patient care.

Complete Gonadal Dysgenesis

Complete gonadal dysgenesis (CGD) or Swyer syndrome is characterised by sexual infantilism in a phenotypic female with 46, XY karyotype. Patients with gonadal dysgenesis and Y-chromosome material are at a high risk of developing gonadoblastoma and dysgerminoma. A 16-year-old girl presented with progressive virilisation, poor breast development and primary amenorrhea. On evaluation, she was found to have male-range serum testosterone, large abdominopelvic mass lesion, elevated germ cell tumour markers and 46, XY karyotype. She underwent surgical excision of left gonadal mass and right streak gonad, histopathology of which revealed dysgerminoma and gonadoblastoma, respectively. A diagnosis of virilising germ cell tumour arising in the setting of 46, XY CGD was, therefore, made. This case highlights a rare presentation of 46, XY CGD and the need to consider early prophylactic gonadectomy in patients affected with this rare condition. The presence of dysgerminoma/gonadoblastoma should be suspected if a hitherto phenotypic female with CGD undergoes virilisation.
