Abstract:We present a case of an 18-year-old male with a scrotal swelling which initially appeared to be a ruptured scrotal abscess but rapidly grew into a fungating mass after initial exploration. Investigations revealed Embryonal Carcinoma of testis with paraaortic and inguinal lymph nodal involvement. High inguinal orchidectomy and local excision of scrotum was followed by chemotherapy. Later the patient made complete recovery. Involvement of skin in case of testicular cancer is rare.
