| Abstrakt: | Although germ cell tumours can appear in childhood, they are most common around the age of 30. These tumours are highly responsive to chemotherapy, and even cases of relapse have relatively high cure rates. There is limited literature on patients diagnosed after the age of 50, and no specific trials have been carried out in this context. These patients, considered 'elderly', are treated with the same cisplatin-containing combinations as younger patients, despite the higher toxicity. This report presents an observation of a giant testicular mixed germ cell tumour discovered in a 75-year-old patient. Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interests.
