Abstract
A young man presented with a perineal tumour which despite intensive investigation, remained of unknown origin and required radical excision. It was subsequently shown to be a metastasis from a primary regressed testicular teratoma. It is important to exclude a testicular origin in these patients wherever possible because such tumours are often chemosensitive.
