An Adult Paratesticular Malignant Ectomesenchymoma With Post-operative Flare-up of Lung Metastasis

An Adult Paratesticular Malignant Ectomesenchymoma With Post-operative Flare-up of Lung Metastasis

Malignant ectomesenchymoma (MEM) which is derived from the remnants of migratory neural crest cells (ectomesenchyme) is a rare and rapidly progressing tumor consisting of neuroectodermal and mesenchymal neoplastic elements. This tumor occurs mostly in children and adolescents, but rarely in adults....

This tumor occurs mostly in children and adolescents, but rarely in adults. We report a 34-year-old male with left paratesticular malignant ectomesenchymoma who received radical orchiectomy and was followed by post-operative flare-up of lung metastasis within 2 weeks. We present the overall treatment strategies for this extremely rare tumor and related findings.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214442015000960EctomesenchymomaParatesticular tumorLung metastasis
