A computed tomography (CT) scan performed upon admission showed that the irregular marginal tumor of about 4 cm in width contained necrotic tissue in the central space (fig. 1) as well as a solitary liver metastasis and multiple lung metastases.
An abdominal CT scan showed hemoperitoneum from a metastatic extragonadal germ cell tumor immediately before the emergency operation (black arrows).

The patient underwent CT examinations that showed hemoperitoneum from a metastatic extragonadal germ cell tumor (fig. 2) and multiple lung metastases (fig. 3).
The operative scheme showed that venous bleeding from the surface of a metastatic extragonadal germ cell tumor ( ) was found between the ligament of Treitz and the inferior mesenteric vein in a horizontal position. Hemostatic treatment was performed with 4-0 proline thread attached to a medicated cotton sponge (  ).

Therefore, hemostatic treatment was performed with 4-0 proline thread attached to a medicated cotton sponge rather than using a simple proline thread (fig. 4).
