Abstract
While typically a disease of younger men, seminomas do occasionally occur beyond the age of 70. There is less clarity on the treatment for men in this age range. Herein we describe a case of a man in his 80s with aggressive disease, review available literature, and highlight the challenges of treatment men in this age range.
