RESUMEN
We discuss the clinical presentation and course of the disease of a 25-year-old male who had gastro-intestinal (GIT) symptoms secondary to retroperitoneal lymph node proliferation of a germ-cell tumour of the testis. The pathology evaluation of the orchiectomy specimen classified it as a burned-out tumour of the testis, given the lack of tumour elements and the presence of typical scarring tissue. Biological issues leading to tumour regression are discussed, as well
