Popis: Germ cell tumors of the testis may present as a retroperitoneal mass without enlargement or any other symptoms of the testis. We hereby report a rare case of retroperitoneal seminoma with clinically normal testes, which was diagnosed by FNAC in a forty year old man. Presentation of testicular seminoma as retroperitoneal mass is rare. FNAC in this case proved to be very useful in identifying the nature of the mass and helped to detect the primary tumor.
