    Abstract:
    A 37-year-old man, who had been treated with inguinal orchiectomy and radiotherapy of retroperitoneal and iliac lymph node for r-testicular tumor 6 months earlier, was admitted with a complaint of left leg pain in May 1992. CT scan of pelvic bone revealed osteolytic change of left pubic bone with soft tissue mass. Bone scintigram showed significant uptake of radioisotope on left pubic bone. Biopsy of left pubic bone confirmed histologic findings compatible with that of previous testicular cancer. He was treated with PEB chemotherapy (CDDP, Etoposide and Bleomycin) and radiation therapy. After treatment, the majority of the tumor mass disappeared on CT scan. On repeat biopsy specimens, significant fibrotic change was observed and no cancer cells were recognized. He is alive with no evidence of disease.
