Testicular germ-cell tumors are the most common solid tumor in young men, with an incidence peak between the ages of 20 and 35 years. Even if rare, arterial thromboembolism is a serious and possible complication during cisplatin-based chemotherapy in young patients. The strong association between rapid treatment and favorable outcome is well known. Oncologists need to recognize the symptoms and to alert a stroke unit as soon as possible. We report the management of a young patient affected by non seminomatous testicular neoplasm without cardiovascular risk factors who developed an ischemic stroke during cisplatin-based treatment. We also review the relevant literature.
