testicular tumors represent the most common type of solid neoplasia in men aged between 18 and 35 years. its cure rate is approximately 90%1,2. in some cases, tumoral vascular invasion can occur and demands surgical ressection to stop disease progression and prevent thromboembolic events. that is the only valuable therapeutic choice although it is a high risk procedure. we present a case report of a patient who underwent successful chemotherapy and surgery for a right-sided testicular tumor associated with an inferior vena cava tumor thrombus extending from the renal vein to the right atrium and extensive retroperitoneal lymph node disease.
