Abstract

We reported an autopsy case of metastatic lung tumor of choriocarcinoma originating from the retroperitoneum. A 24-year-old man complaining bloody sputum was admitted to our hospital. Plain chest X-ray film showed multiple nodules in bilateral lung fields, and abdominal CT showed retroperitoneal mass. The tumor was thought to be a renal tumor, but the patient rejected medical examination, so it was not possible to determine the histological type. The patient died due to respiratory failure 33 days later. Postmortern examination yielded a histological diagnosis of choriocarcinoma with pulmonary metastasis. The pathology of the testis was negative, so, the retroperitoneal mass was the primary lesion.
