Urol Int. 1993;50(2):108-10. doi: 10.1159/000282464.

Abstract

Testicular tumors in closely related family members are rare. We report a case of familial testicular cancer occurring in father-son pairs. The father had teratocarcinoma and his son developed pure seminoma. The association of a genetic factor in the etiology of testicular malignancy is discussed.
