Testicular embryonal cell carcinoma presenting as haemoptysis and skin nodules
The Indian Journal of Chest Diseases & Allied Sciences
|September 19, 2014
Abstract:
Embryonal cell carcinoma affects young males in the prime of their life with majority of tumours already having metastasised at the time of diagnosis. Subcutaneous metastasis from embryonal carcinoma is rare and is associated with widespread disease and poor prognosis. We report a case of 22-year-old male who presented with haemoptysis and skin nodules. Fine needle aspiration cytology of skin nodules and the lung lesion led to the diognosis of testicular embryonal cell carcinoma.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...
