摘　　要：BACKGROUND Late relapses of early-stage germ cell tumors are rare.Most patients(-85%)with stage I seminoma are cured by radical orchiectomy.The detection of late relapse is challenging given the relative rarity of this phenomenon,and the fact that patients who have completed surveillance are usually not undergoing regular oncologic workup nor imaging.While many treatment options do exist for a patient with late relapse of seminoma,surgery is typically the mainstay as these tumors are generally thought to be more chemo-resistant.CASE SUMMARY In this article,we describe the management of a patient with an early-stage pure seminoma who was subsequently identified to have a recurrence two decades later.We provide a review of the literature not only focused on clinical factors and biology,but also the management of late recurrences specifically in pure seminoma and in prostate gland.CONCLUSION There is a paucity of data and treatment recommendations for this clinical entity,and a multidisciplinary approach emphasizing subspecialty expert consultation and patient education is imperative.
