Synchronous bilateral testis tumor: mixed germ cell and theca cell tumors

Urology. 1993 Nov;42(5):593-5. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(93)90286-j.

Abstract

Synchronous bilateral testis tumors of different histologic types are rare. All previous cases have demonstrated germ cell tumors on both sides. The simultaneous appearance of a germ cell tumor and a contralateral non-germ cell tumor has not been reported. We herein report a thirty-four-year-old man who presented with a mixed non-seminomatous germ cell tumor of the left testis and theca cell tumor of the right testis.
