[Therapy of primary testicular chondrosarcoma]

We describe the clinical course in a patient with a primary testicular chondrosarcoma. The way of metastasizing and cytogenetic analysis proved the germ cell origin of this tumour. After unilateral orchiectomy four cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin, etoposide and bleomycin and one cycle of vinblastine, ifophosphamide and cisplatin were given. Even though the retroperitoneal metastases continued to grow, a radical retroperitoneal lymph node dissection was performed. Five years after surgery the patient is still in remission.
