Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in young menwith seminomas comprising almost half of all germ cell tumours.Benign ganglioneuromas are rare tumours derived from the sympatheticnervous system. They usually occur in aldolescents andyoung adults and are predominantly located in the mediastinumand retroperitoneum. We report a case of a patient with synchronousmetastatic testicular seminoma with retroperitoneal lymphnode involvement and a benign retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma(RGN) which caused diagnostic and management challenges. Thepatient had a complete response following combination chemotherapyfor his seminoma and subsequently underwent completeresection of his ganglioneuroma.

Testicular cancer accounts for 1% of all male cancers yet is the most common cancer affecting men aged 15–44 years. Most testicular cancers are seminomas or non-seminomatous germ cell tumors. Rarely, multiple testicular cancers may occur simultaneously, most often of the same histological type. However, synchronous tumors of different histological types may occur, although rarely. In this case study, we present the sonographic features with histopathologic correlation in a case of unilateral synchronous testicular tumors of discordant histology.

Introduction: Aneurysm of the communicating vein between the left renal vein and left ascending lumbar vein is extremely rare with only anecdotal reported cases. Unless detected and recognized promptly, this rare condition may give rise to severe bleeding in patients undergoing retroperitoneal surgery. It may also closely mimic enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes, paragangliomas, adrenal masses, or renal artery aneurysms. Case report: In this case study, we reported the imaging findings of this rare entity which was falsely diagnosed as enlarged retroperitoneal lymph node in an outside medical center, reported as to be consistent with metastatic disease, in a patient with newly diagnosed testicular cancer. Conclusion: The aneurysm of the communicating vein should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with testicular cancer and other disease processes where lymph nodes are commonly affected.
