Abstract
Although alpha-interferons have anti-tumour activity in a variety of s olid and haematological malignancies(1,2), they are not generally cons idered to be effective therapy for mature testicular teratomas, We rep ort a case of complete remission in a patient with recurrent mature te ratoma following treatment with alpha-interferon.
