Zusammenfassung

Das folgende Fallbeispiel beschreibt eine hämatogene Metastase in der Urethra eines Seminoms, welche zu einer obstruktiven Miktionssymptomatik mit der Notwendigkeit einer suprapubischen Zystostomie führte. Die daraufhin durchgeführte lokoregionale Radiotherapie führte sowohl zu einer kompletten Tumorremission mit Langzeitwirkung, als auch zu einem völligen Verschwinden der obstruktiven Miktionsproblematik.

Abstract

Anaplastic seminomas account for 5–10% of all seminomas. Their metastatic pattern is similar to the classic form of seminoma. We report on an oligophrenic patient with seminoma pT1 who developed a metastasis to the corpus spongiosum and penile urethra, which was successfully treated by local external radiotherapy resulting in long-term tumor remission over a 4-year follow-up period.
