Diagnostic Utility of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Washout in Cervical Lymph Node Fine-Needle Aspiration for Metastatic Testicular Cancer
ABSTRACT: Objective: This case report will describe the first adjunct use of directly measuring the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) washout for diagnosing metastatic non-semi-nomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT) of the testicle in a patient with cervic...
