Burnt out testicular tumor - A case report

Abstract

Spontaneous regression of testicular tumors known as burnt-out tumor of testis is a rare entity and is seen in about 5% of testicular germ cell tumors. It is described as a spontaneously, completely, or partially regressed testicular tumor with or without metastasis in the absence of any treatment. This entity is now included in the 2016 classification of testicular tumors. This is probably only the second case presented in India. High degree of awareness of this entity by the pathologist, clinician, and radiologist is necessary for proper management and survival of the patient.
