Seminoma presenting as a solitary metastasis in gastric mucosa with regressed testicular mass

Seminoma presenting as a solitary metastasis in gastric mucosa with regressed testicular mass

Gastric involvement by seminoma is extremely rare and all the reported cases were associated with bulky retroperitoneal disease or occurred late as part of advanced disease. We report a unique case of seminoma presenting as gastric mucosal metastasis. The diagnosis of this case was complicated by no...
