Abstract

Testicular cancer accounts for 1% of male neoplasms, the most common histology is bilateral presentation is reported in 1–2% of cases, and germ cell tumor histology represents 90–95% of cases. Especifically, choriocarcinoma as a pure component represents 0.3–1% of these neoplasms and as a mixed component, 8%. We present a 26-year-old male patient with bilateral Wunderlich syndrome secondary to renal metastases from testicular choriocarcinoma.
