We present the case of a 21-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with metastatic brain choriocarcinoma after presenting with a spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage. The treatment performed for this patient was an open surgery with full excision of the lesion. It is known that this kind of tumor is usually found in women, with low incidence in men. With this information as a baseline, we found multiple pulmonary metastases and a primary pure choriocarcinoma in his testicle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
