We present an exceptional case of testicular seminoma metastasis in intraluminal ureter, manifested by obstruction of the lumen with pyonephrosis. We review the literature and only two previous cases are recorded.

A follow-up ultrasonography study 43 months after an operation for left stage I testicular seminoma in a 39-year-old man revealed left hydronephrosis. Serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) levels were slightly increased. Computed tomography scans of the abdomen showed a bulky tumor around the ureteropelvic region without para-aortic lymph node enlargement, but did not show a clear distinction between a recurrence of the testicular tumor and an invasive ureteral tumor. After the patient underwent two cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide, the tumor mass decreased by approximately 60% and beta-hCG levels returned to normal. We then performed a resection of the residual tumor involving the upper ureter and left kidney and a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection under a clinical diagnosis of recurrence of the testicular tumor. Histologically, no viable cancer cells remained. The patient has been well with no evidence of recurrence for more than two years.

We present a case report of testicular seminoma with intraluminal metastasis to the ureter causing obstruction and hydronephrosis. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case to be reported in the world literature of metastatic tumor to the ureter from a primary testicular seminoma.
