Abstract
Summary— Accurate definition of metastases in pare‐aortic lymph nodes and lungs is essential in planning treatment for for patients with testicular teratoma. The addition of CT scanning to routine investigation of these patients has given additional sensitivity in detection and localisation of metastases. The extent of para‐aortic metastases could be clearly defined, even when bulk replacement of nodes prevented definition lymphosgraphy. This information was used in planning the best surgical approach for apra‐aortic lymphadenectomy, which was done as part of combined treatment of large volume metastases.Keywords
