Abstract

The main complaint of the patient may not be always compatible with the disease. In this case report, we aimed to present that a careful genital examination when combined with specific laboratory tests could reveal important underlying diseases which was not correlated with the main complaint of the patient who has presented with chest pain. A primary testicular tumor was succesfully diagnosed by a positive ?-hCG test in a male patient whose extended physical examination has arisen questions about the diagnosis.

Özet

Yapılan başvurudaki ana şikayet ile altta yatan hastalık her zaman uyumlu olmayabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda göğüs ağrısı ile acil servise başvuran erkek hastada yapılan dikkatli genital muayene ve özgün laboratuar testleri ile ana şikayetten farklı önemli tanıların ortaya çıkarılabileceğini göstermek istedik. Rutinde erkek hastadan istenmeyen idrar ?-hCG testi, genişletilmiş fizik muayene ile birlikte, primer testis tümörünün acil serviste tanı almasını sağladı.
