| description | We present the case of a 21-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with metastatic brain choriocarcinoma after presenting with a spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage. The treatment performed for this patient was an open surgery with full excision of the lesion. It is known that this kind of tumor is usually found in women, with low incidence in men. With this information as a baseline, we found multiple pulmonary metastases and a primary pure choriocarcinoma in his testicle. |
