Abstract:

Growing Teratoma Syndrome (GTS) is a rare entity, which requires clinical vigilance for early diagnosis. Surgery remains the sole treatment but it can be complicated especially for the delayed patients. Awareness on the condition can lead physicians to make more accurate diagnosis on the basis of suspicion for the patients with Non-Seminomatous Germ Cell Tumors (NSGCT).

Keywords:
