Özet

© 2020 Elsevier Inc.Bilateral testicular tumors are very rare in pediatric patients and only a few case reports have been reported. These patients have a high risk of sterility due to bilateral orchiectomy and subsequent gonadotoxic treatments. Therefore, if possible, testis-sparing surgery should be performed in patients with benign masses and testicular tissue preservation may be recommended in order to maintain fertility in later life. We present a 23 months old boy with synchronous bilateral testicular tumor managed with unilateral orchiectomy and testis-sparing surgery and testicular tissue cryopreservation performed to the controlateral side. We also review the literature on bilateral testis tumors in children
