Abstract
An extragenital metastatic seminoma in a patient with Klinefelter''s syndrome is described. The increased incidence of many types of malignancies in patients with this chromosomal abnormality and the increased susceptibility of XXY cells to transformation by SV-40 are discussed. A relationship is suggested circumstantially by these observations.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
