Abstract
Choriocarcinoma syndrome is an extremely rare, life-threatening condition seen in patients having advanced choriocarcinomas with large tumor burden. We report an unusual case of choriocarcinoma syndrome wherein a long-standing bilateral gynecomastia was ignored and an underlying testicular malignancy undiagnosed.
