- Abstract
Over the last few years a number of testicular tumours in seropositive patients or patients with AIDS-diagnostic factors have been described in the literature with no clear relationship having been established between both conditions. Most authors believe management should not differ from that being given to non-immunodeficient patients. The paper presents one case of non-seminomatous germinal tumour in a 41-year old homosexual patient, HIV positive, with unfavourable evolution in spite of the treatment received.
