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.Entities:
