Description
Germ cell tumors constitute the majority of all testicular tumors, which are relatively rare overall and are mainly encountered in young adults and teenagers. The term ‘burnedout’ germ cell tumor refers to the presence of a metastatic germ cell tumor with histological regression of the primary testicular lesion.
