Abstract
Retroperitoneal hemorrhage is a rare and life-threatening clinical presentation that may occur in patients with advanced germ cell tumors, typically after chemotherapy. Rapid clinical suspicion is crucial to offer the best treatment. Surgery is usually recommended but dismal complications may occur. We report on a man with metastatic testicular cancer presenting with massive spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage that had not received previous systemic treatment and was managed without surgical treatment, with good clinical outcome.
