Abstract
Introduction: In case of adenopathy from cancer of unknown primary it may be very challenging, and integration between medical history and clinical, radiological, and cytological findings become fundamental. We will report the case of a 50-year-old patient treated 15 years ago for a testicular seminoma and who currently presents with isolated cervical lymphadenopathy. Case Report: This is a 50-year-old patient treated 15 Years ago for a testicular seminoma who benefited from surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy with complete remission until he presented recently with isolated cervical lymphadenopathy; the patient benefited from a biopsy of the cervical lymphadenopathy and the pathological study suggested a tuberculosis, second reading comfirmed germinal origin. Conclusion: Late relapses of seminomas in the form of cervical lymphadenopathy although it is a rare possibility but it remains entirely possible which has been confirmed in the literature and through our case; a good histological study with immunohistochemical complement is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
