Abstract

We report a case of mature testicular teratoma with invasion and thrombosis of the inferior vena cava that presented as recurrent pulmonary embolism. Treatment included radical orchiectomy, chemotherapeutic cytoreduction and, finally, resection of a massive retroperitoneal tumor with en bloc resection of the inferior vena cava using cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Management is discussed and the literature is reviewed.
