 AB    Apart from infections, tumors are one of the manifestations of AIDS.
       Kaposi's sarcoma of the penis or scrotum is the most common urological
       tumor in patients with AIDS. Renal tumors and, to date, 56 testicular
       tumors have also been described. It remains unclear whether
       immunodeficiency is a decisive factor in the appearance of testicular
       tumors. However, these tumors present in the advanced stages, which is
       probably ascribable to changes in cellular immunity. Treatment is not
       unlike that of conventional therapy, the response being similar to that
       of patients without AIDS. We describe a case of germ cell carcinoma
       which manifested as multiple pulmonary metastases in a 26-year-old
       patient with AIDS.
