Abstract

Testicular cancer is a rare tumor, acco- unting for 1-2% of cancers in men. Bilateral testicular tumor is a very rare condition. Only 35% of bilateral testicular tumors are seen as synchronous tumors. In synchronous tumors, bilateral seminoma is the most common. But one side seminoma and non-seminomatous tumor detection on the other side are less common. Although the gold standard in treatment seems to be bilateral radical orc- hiectomy, partial orchiectomy raised becau- se of infertility, hormonal insufficiency and psychosocial factors. In this case report, we aimed to present a case with synchronous bi- lateral testicular tumor with different surgical procedures and different pathological outco- mes for each sides.

Keywords: Testicular cancer, synchro- nous tumors, seminoma, non-seminomatous germ cell tumor
