摘　　要：Seminoma is a germ cell tumour which primarily affects the testes. Seminomas are treated by orchidectomy with usually excellent outcomes. We report the occurrence of a classical seminoma in a 92-year-old man,who is currently the oldest patient with this histology reported in literature. He presented with a painful,swollen testis. Scrotal ultrasound scan revealed a testicular mass. A left inguinal orchidectomy was carried out and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a classical seminoma. Further staging by computerised tomography revealed pulmonary lesions suspicious of metastases. The patient declined further treatment in view of his age and co-morbidities.Seminoma is a germ cell tumour which primarily affects the testes.
