Autopsy findings are reviewed in 154 patients treated for germ cell tumors of the testis. OF the patients with apparently pure seminoma, 44% had autopsy evidence of nonseminomatous metastases. For all tumor types, the most common sites of distant metastasis were lung (89%), liver (73%), brain (31%),
