Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To report one case of bilateralsynchronic germ cell testicular tumour of different histology.METHODS/RESULTS: 37-year-old patient with left testiculartumor under study was found to have a contralateral synchro-nic testicular tumor on ultrasound. Bilateral inguinal orchiec-tomy was performed and pathology reported the presenceof bilateral testicular tumours of different histological type.CONCLUSIONS: Around 75% of the cases of bilateral tes-ticular tumours are metachronic, with only 10% presentingdifferent histology.
