Abstract

The authors report two cases of brain metastasis from testicular tumor with massive, sudden intratumoral hemorrhage. In both cases, the hemorrhage occurred during the 1st admission day and carried a high risk of fatality. Early, aggressive surgical removal is advisable before general deterioration. Postoperative chemotherapy with an agent different from the one applied to primary lesion is also recommended because of drug tolerance.
