Case report highlights the aggressiveness of primary choriocarcinoma in males, indicating potential for metastasis.
Primary choriocarcinoma in males is an uncommon and aggressive subtype of germ cell tumors characterized by an early rise in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). While testicular cancers are the most common type of solid cancers among young males, almost half of the primary choriocarcinomas diagnosed have metastasized to lymph nodes, lungs, or liver at the time of presentation. Here we present two cases describing two middle‐aged men diagnosed with advanced malignancy of primary choriocarcinoma.
