Choriocarcinoma syndrome: A rare presentation of testicular germ cell tumour.
Germ cell tumours (GCT) are the most common malignancy in men between the ages of 15 and 35 years. Pure choriocarcinoma is a very rare entity of non- seminomatous germ cell tumour and comprises only 1% -3% of all the testicular tumours. Choriocarcinoma syndrome is a clinical condition in which haemorrhage occurs from the metastatic sites with elevated level of the Beta-Human Chorionic gonadotropin (Beta -HCG). A 15-year-old adolescent boy presented in with left sided testicular swelling along with dark coloured cutaneous lesions of the scalp, chest and chin for the last one month. He underwent left sided orchiectomy, and the histopathology report showed Pure Choriocarcinoma. Unfortunately, he died after the beginning of chemotherapy due to alveolar haemorrhage.
