Article Abstract

Vertigo is a common presenting symptom, but rarely may be caused by a malignancy. We present a case of a 44-year-old man who presented with nystagmus and vertigo precipitated by movement, with accompanying nausea and weight loss. Diagnostic workup revealed a right testicular mass that was resected and found to be a seminoma. The patient's symptoms resolved after surgical resection and treatment with corticosteroids.
