“…These comprise mainly nongerminal neoplasms [4,6] and, more rarely, synchronous bilateral germ cell tumors (SBTT). In 1985, a study, summarizing 89 cases of the literature with mainly bilateral seminoma, was pub lished [7], Different histology in SBTT is an exceedingly rare finding.…”

A 32-year-old male presented with simultaneous bilateral germ cell tumors of the testicles. Histological examination revealed dissimilar histology in both testes showing pure seminoma in the left side and mature teratoma with malignant transformation in the right testicle. A survey of the literature revealed a total of 151 previously described cases of synchronous bilateral germ cell tumors, the majority of which presenting as bilateral seminoma. Treatment of synchronous bilateral germ cell tumors with dissimilar histology should consist of bilateral orchiectomy and bilateral retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

“…Although our youngest patient was only 28 years old, and sporadic cases have been observed even in children (Turley and Moore, 1952;Waddell, 1961), the majority are in the fifth to seventh decades of life. Bilateral testicular involvement is commoner in lymphoma, more than 50% of recorded bilateral tumours falling into this category (Hotchkiss and Laury, 1950;Abeshouse et al, 1955). In our 665 cases there were six bilateral tumours, of which five were lymphomas.…”
