Abstract:
We encountered an uncommon case of a non-seminomatous germ cell tumor with solitary bone metastasis at the initial presentation. A 30-year-old male patient with testicular cancer underwent an orchidectomy and was diagnosed with non-seminoma. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography detected an isolated metastatic lesion in the right sacral wing, which disappeared after a series of chemotherapy. En-bloc surgical resection was performed as curative local treatment, and the patient was able to perform his activities of daily living with no apparent recurrence. Therefore, this surgical method is considered safe and beneficial for the treatment of sacral wing lesions.
