Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors have been not more frequently linked to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (M7), a rare form of primary AML. Review of literature regarding the case has shown that there were 26 case reports of concomitant mediastinal non seminomatous germ cell tumors in the last seven decades. However not a single case of testicular germ cell tumour with acute myeloid leukemia was reported making this case report rare of its kind. Here, we described a rare instance of dual malignancy that was treated at our center, synchronous testicular non- seminomatous germ cell tumour and acute myeloid leukemia (M7), which led to the patient's death as he was unable to tolerate chemotherapy.
