BEDOYA-ISMODES, Enrique et al. Growing Teratoma Syndrome as Retroperitoneal Mass: Case Report. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2024, vol.24, n.4, pp.260-265.  Epub 31-Oct-2024. ISSN 1814-5469.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v24i4.6697.

Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is characterized by tumor enlargement during or after chemotherapy for non-seminomatous germ cell tumors, accompanied by the normalization of previously elevated tumor marker levels and the presence of mature teratoma components in histological examination. We present the case of a 25-year-old man diagnosed with a mixed germ cell tumor. The patient underwent surgery and chemotherapy; however, one year later, he was diagnosed with GTS due to the presence of a retroperitoneal mass that did not respond to a second chemotherapy regimen.
