Abstract

The increased risk of thromboembolic events is well known in patients with cancer. We aimed to highlight this relationship in a case of testicular cancer. A 25-year-old young man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of sudden onset chest pain and dyspnea. Physical examination revealed a respiratory rate of 30/min and a blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg. A partial reduction of breath sounds in the basal posterior of the right lung was present on lung auscultation. Posteroanterior chest radiography was interpreted as normal. Echocar - diographic evaluation revealed severe dilatation and hypertrophy of the right heart, and the pulmonary arterial pressure was 75 mmHg. Multi-detector computed tomography showed a submassive pulmonary embolism and inferior vena cava thrombosis. The level of serum alpha-fetoprotein was slightly higher than normal. A right testicular mass was found upon physical examination. A right orchiectomy operation was performed. Pathological investigation revealed a malignant mixed germinal tumor of the testicle. In conclusion, in cases of thromboembolism in young males, physicians should consider the possibility of testicular cancer.

Özet

Kanserli olgularda tromboembolik olaylar için artmış risk olduğu bilinmektedir. Testiküler kanserli bir olgumuzda bu ilişkiyi vurgulamak istedik. Yirmibeş yaşında erkek hasta ani başlayan nefes darlığı ve göğüs ağrısı şikayeti ile hastanemize başvurdu. Fizik muayenede solunum sayısı 30/dakika, kan basıncı 110/70 mmHg ve oskültasyonda sağ akciğer posterior bazalde solunum seslerinde kısmi azalma saptandı. Postero -anterior akciğer grafisi normal olarak değerlendirildi. Ekokardiyografik incelemede sağ kalp boşluklarında ileri derecede genişleme ve hipertrofi saptandı, pulmoner arter basıncı 75 mmHg ölçüldü. Multidetektör bilgisayarlı tomografiyle submasif pulmoner emboli ve vena cava inferiorda tromboz saptandı. Alfa-fetopro -tein düzeyi hafif yüksek bulundu. Yapılan muayene ile sağ testiste büyüme saptandı. Sağ orşiektomi operas -yonu uygulandı. Patolojik inceleme sonucu malign mikst germinal testiküler tümör olarak bildirildi. Sonuç olarak, hekimler tromboemboli gelişen genç erkek olgularda testiküler kanserin de neden olabileceğinin farkında olmalılar.
