[A CASE WITH LATE RECURRENCE OF EXTRAGONADAL GERM CELL TUMOR].

A 61-year-old man had undergone resection of teratoma with a histological component of seminoma occurring in the anterior mediastinum at 26 years of age in 1978, followed by radiation treatment to the resected area. He had a recurrence tumor in the left retroperitoneum 2 years later, which was resected combined with left nephrectomy and was proved to be the same pathology as the initial tumor. At 36 years after the initial treatment, the tumor recurred in the right lung. Although he underwent surgical treatment after chemotherapy, he died due to the tumor recurrence 16 months later.
