Cervical mass as the first clinical manifestation of unsuspected metastatic seminoma

The authors reported a case of a 27‐year‐old man with a nontender left neck mass that had grown quite rapidly within few weeks. FNAB and CT were not consistent to establish the definite diagnosis. After excisional biopsy, the histopathological examination and the immunohistochemical study of the specimen revealed a cervical metastasis of seminoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy with a complete clinical remission. This uncommon case-report can represent a great diagnostic and therapeutic challenge and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of every cervical masses occurring in young males patients.
