Abstract
A 19-year-old man with a germ cell tumor who experienced hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident (CVA) assoc iated with hypomagnesemia as late complications of cisplatin-based che motherapy is presented, and previously reported cases in the literatur e are reviewed. Different physiopathologic mechanisms are hypothesized for early and late vascular complications of cisplatin.
