Abstract :
IntroductionTesticular cancer is the most common tumor of the genital tract of 18-39 years-old men; its incidence is increasing in recent decades. However, the 10-year survival rate of testicular cancer is above 90%, which can result from radiation and chemotherapy used to treat patients. Testicular cancer patients are at risk for secondary malignancies; in this regard, the effects of radiation are brighter than chemotherapy. Recent studies reported melanoma and malignant skin changes as secondary malignancies in these people.Case presentationthis study introduces a 31-year-old patient with a mixed germ cell tumor and severe dysplastic changes in a compound nevus. Our patient had long-term exposure to sunlight and numerous skin nevi before diagnosing testicular cancer.Conclusions The findings do not support the relationship between the emergence of a nevus with severe dysplastic changes and testicular tumors.
