Article	Year
Complete remission of metastatic teratoma from malignant testicular tumor using salvage chemotherapy with VP-16 (etoposide), CDDP, and ACNU--case report. Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 1991, Volume: 31, Issue:5 A 26-year-old male with an intracranial teratoma, metastasizing from a testicular yolk sac tumor refractory to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP), vinblastin, and bleomycin (PVB) therapy, was successfully treated with a combination of etoposide (VP-16), CDDP, and ACNU (salvage chemotherapy). Emergency surgery for subcortical hemorrhage discovered the metastasis, diagnosed as a yolk sac tumor. CDDP chemotherapy failed to prevent recurrence, and total removal was impossible due to subdural invasion. He underwent radiation therapy and salvage chemotherapy. A third operation found only scar tissue. Maintenance salvage chemotherapy was continued. He was doing well 30 months after the first operation.
