We present a patient with a retroperitoneal tumor noted 15 years after treatment of a testicular mixed germ cell cancer. The patient initially underwent right-sided orchiectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for clinical stage I disease. An early relapse indicated by increasing tumor markers shortly after retroperitoneal lymph node dissection was successfully treated with five cycles of combined chemotherapy. However, 187 months after completion of chemotherapy, a symptomatic right-sided iliac mass was diagnosed. Radical surgical excision of the mass was performed and histologic examination revealed differentiated mature teratoma. This represents the longest time interval reported in the literature for a mature teratoma following treatment of a testicular germ cell tumor.
