Young male patient with bilateral synchronous testicular germ cell tumour. Considerations for partial orchiectomy

Joan Manel Gasent Blesa et al. Clin Transl Oncol. 2008 Dec.

Abstract

Bilateral synchronous testicular cancer is a rare disease and is usually associated with similar histological findings in each testicle. The standard therapy of bilateral testis cancer is generally considered to be inguinal orchiectomy. We present a case of synchronous bilateral testicular germ cell tumour, with different histology, initially treated with testis-sparing surgery. After pathology review, the margin of the partial orchiectomy was considered affected, and an inguinal orchiectomy was planned. Options for testis-sparing surgery are discussed.
