Abstract:
A 43-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a seven-year history of progressive left-sided scrotal swelling. On examination, a large mass was palpable in the left hemiscrotum, accompanied by eczema-like skin changes and a decubitus ulcer. Tumor markers were significantly elevated, particularly lactate dehydrogenase, and an urgent ultrasound confirmed the presence of a testicular tumor. CT revealed a scrotal mass originating from the left testis, along with bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. The patient underwent a left inguinal orchidectomy, and histopathological analysis confirmed a 3,550 g classical seminoma. He was subsequently referred to oncology for adjuvant chemotherapy.
