The cancerous tumor type seminoma is the most common testicular cancer, most frequently affects people of an average age of 50 years. The seminoma presents risk factors such as cryptorchidism, infertility, and a family history of first grade with cancer. Staging determines the extent of invasion into neighbouring organs; TNM (Tumor, nodule, Metastasis). The diagnosis is carried out by the clinic there is a growing mass of high-volume, but also used tumoral markers; as the alpha protein, which is always negative to seminoma and fetal Human B Chorionic Gonadotropin, which rarely is elevated. The methods of image that are used include chest radiograph and tomography of abdomen and pelvis to rule out metastasis. A case of a patient's 52 years of age, with a bulky mass testicular - painless, about 7 years of evolution from 2 months ago has points of external bleeding. A physical exam presents a mass of 18 by 15 cm, with a point of hemorrhage in the scrotal region and purulent secretion in the foreskin, and then proceeds to the appropriate treatment.
