Abstract
Cited by 0 Articles

Testicular cancer represents 5% of urological tumours. Its incidence has been increasing during the last decades especially in the industrialised countries. Especially pure seminoma patients have been between 30 and 40 years old. At diagnosis, 1-2% of testicular tumors are bilateral. Radical orchiectomy is the gold standart for the treatment despite the performing of organ sparing surgery in selected cases for recent years. We present a case of bilateral synchronous testicular seminoma stage-IIIa in a 32-year old Turkish male who presented at our hospital with painless mass last one year. He underwent bilateral radical inguinal orchiectomy followed by four courses of BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin) chemotherapy. After the treatment, there was no recurrence or metastasis in a one-year follow-up.

Key words: Seminoma; Testicular; Bilateral; Treatment.
