Abstract: Objective: To perform a comparative assessment of the clinical and epidemiological aspects of testicular tumors in childhood and adolescence.Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records of patients with testicular or paratesticular neoplasms. Patients under 10 years were classified as children and patients between 10 and 20 were classified as adolescents. The obtained results were compared through the twosample test for proportions: non-parametric Mann-Whitney test and log-rank test.Results: 60 patients … Show more

Adolescents with testicular tumours tend to have a more aggressive presentation compared to those in children [12]. Approximately 10% of Leydig cell tumours present with precocious puberty due to gonadotrophin-independent testosterone production [21].…”

“…Nogueira Neto, in a series of 60 patients (34 children and 26 adolescents) with testicular or paratesticular neoplasms, reported that the mean length of time from the onset of symptoms to the diagnosis in adolescents and children, were 4.9 and 2.3 months, respectively. 10 Ultrasound is the first imaging study used for assessment of testicular masses and has high accuracy. A solid mass involving the testis may have calcification or cystic areas.…”
