Abstract EN
Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) metastasize in a very predictable fashion involving the retroperitoneal nodes first followed by hematogenous spread to distant organs like lungs, liver, and brain.
Metastasis to heart is an extremely rare entity for GCT and fewer than 20 cases have been reported in the literature so far.
We have summarized here a unique case of nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT) with intracardiac metastasis resulting in systemic macroembolization to liver, spleen, brain, bowel and musculoskeletal tissues.
This led to multiple adverse sequelae including ischemic stroke and bowel perforation.
