Testicular and paratesticular neoplasms are uncommon tumors of childhood. Consequently, the experience gained with regard to their optimal management is limited in any given children's cancer centre. Here we review the classification, diagnosis, and staging of testicular and paratesticular neoplasms and subsequently discuss the more frequently occurring ones: germ cell tumors, gonadal stromal tumors, gonadoblastoma, tumors of the supporting tissue, lymphomas and leukemias, tumor-like lesions, secondary tumors, and tumors of the adnexa.
