Abstract
Embryonal cell carcinoma affects young males in the prime of their life with majority of tumours already having
metastasised at the time of diagnosis. Subcutaneous metastasis from embryonal carcinoma is rare and is associated with
widespread disease and poor prognosis. We report a case of 22-year-old male who presented with haemoptysis and skin
nodules. Fine needle aspiration cytology of skin nodules and the lung lesion led to the diognosis of testicular embryonal
cell carcinoma.
