ABSTRACT

Pure testicular choriocarcinoma is a non-seminomatous neoplasm from germ cell. Incidence of cutaneous metastases in a pure testicular choriocarcinoma is infrequent. We report two cases in men in the third and fourth decade of life with cutaneous metastases as a simultaneous manifestation of a testicular choriocarcinoma, however this kind of metastases have ominous prognosis.
