Resumen

Introducción: los tumores de células germinales son comunes en hombres jóvenes, tienden a ser sensibles a la quimioterapia citotóxica y las recurrencias tardías no son tan frecuentes. Caso Clínico: presentamos el caso de un paciente de 53 años con antecedente de carcinoma del testículo derecho no seminomatoso, específicamente un carcinoma embrionario más teratoma inmaduro y tumor de senos endodérmicos, Estadio Clínico IIIC debido a que presentó metástasis retroperitoneales, supraclaviculares y pulmonares a sus 24 años y que presentó una recurrencia tardía supraclavicular izquierda y pulmonares bilaterales 22 años después. Fue tratado con un esquema de quimioterapia alternativo no convencional con respuesta completa permaneciendo así hasta la actualidad. Conclusión: Existe tratamiento de quimioterapia no convencional que son útiles el tratamiento de tumores de células germinales que muchas veces no se exploran en la práctica oncológica.


Abstract

Introduction: germ cell tumors are common in young men, they tend to be sensitive to cytotoxic chemotherapy and late recurrences are not so frequent. Case report: we present the case of a 53-year-old male patient with a history of non-seminomatous right testicular carcinoma, specifically embryonal carcinoma plus immature teratoma and endodermal sinus tumor, Clinical Stage IIIC because he presented retroperitoneal, supraclavicular and pulmonary metastases at the age of 24 years and presented a late left supraclavicular and bilateral pulmonary recurrence 22 years later. He was treated with an alternative non-conventional chemotherapy scheme with complete response and remains so until the present. Conclusion: There are non-conventional chemotherapy treatments that are useful in the treatment of germ cell tumors that are often not explored in oncologic practice.
