AB  - Testis   tumors   are   the   most   common   malignancies   seen   in   young   men   aged   20-35   years.Approximately  95%  of  testis  tumors  are  germ  cell  tumors.  Germ  cell  tumors  can  be  broadly classified as seminomatous and non-seminomatous. Painless swelling or nodule in test is is usually the  most  common  symptom.  Testis  tumors  metastasize  most  commonly  to  retroperitoneal  lymph nodes  via  lymphatic  spread  and  lungs,  liver,  brain,  and  bones  via  hematogenous  spread.  Lung metastases  of  germ  cell  tumors  may  be  symptomatic  with  cough,  chest  pain,  hemoptysis,  and dyspnea.  We  herein  report  a  patient  diagnosed  with  a  germ  cell  tumor  presenting  with  back  pain and  dyspnea  due  to  massive  lung  metastasis.  In  young  males  presenting  with  massive  lung metastases,  testis  tumors  should  be  kept  in mind  when  searching  for  the  primary  tumor,  and testicular examination should be done.
