Abstract:Germ cell tumors are common among young males with excellent outcomes even in advanced stages. Despite a superb curability rate, treatment-related side effects and complications affect the quality of life. We report a case where Cisplatin-based chemotherapy, the backbone for germ cell tumors treatment, led to ischemic insult. The purpose is to highlight the importance of keeping the incidence of ischemic events following cisplatin-based chemotherapy in differentials for effective management.
