A 42-year-old man presented with severe abdominal pain, constipation, and hematuria. The patient had a history of seminoma treated by chemotherapy followed by bilateral orchiectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection 16 years earlier. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 8.0 x 6.0 x 5.0 cm mass in the retrovesical space, encompassing the left side of his proximal bladder, the prostate, and the rectum. A urine cytologic specimen showed loosely cohesive cell clusters composed of highly atypical large cells and occasional large, single cells with macronucleoli present in a background of mainly lymphocytes and histiocytes was diagnosed as recurrent seminoma. Prostate biopsies showed extensively necrotic seminoma with accompanying granulomatous reaction. The tumor cells were immunoreactive for c-kit (CD117), placental-like alkaline phosphatase (PLAP), D2-40, and OCT4. To our knowledge, this is the second report on urine cytology of metastatic seminoma.
