case_images: Initial computed tomography (CT) scanning showed an ~22 x 18 cm ulcerating testicular mass with para-aortic, iliac and inguinal lymph node metastases on both sides (Fig. 1a-c). CT angiography showed bilateral acute pulmonary embolism with right heart strain and pulmonary infarction in the right middle lobe (Fig. 1d).

case_images: A macroscopically visible tumor decay and reduction without evidence of superinfection was observed (Fig. 2).
case_images: Computed tomography scan showing the germ cell tumor in the coronal plane (a) and in the axial plane (c), as well as positron emission tomography-computed tomography showing the germ cell tumor in the coronal plane (b) and the axial plane (d), after 4 cycles of systemic chemotherapy in June 2020.

case_images: On June 10, 2020, positron emission tomography and CT imaging after 4 cycles of chemotherapy showed a decreasing scrotal mass (~9.5 x 9.5 cm) with still existing contact to the penis root (Fig. 3).
