Abstract
Testicular cancer is the most common solid malignancy affecting males between the ages of 15 and 35, although it accounts for only 1 percent of all cancers in men. In patients presenting with manifestations of extragonadal germ cell tumor or lymphoma, it is important to rule out a primary tumor in the testes, even when they do not present with symptoms such as testicular pain or mass. Here we describe a case of burned out tumor of testis with extensive metastases in a patient who had no testicular symptoms and discuss the importance of imaging and further management.
