Overview
We present a case report of a patient with a rare diagnosis – synchronous bilateral testicular tumor. The sonographic appearance of both sides differed. Abdominal CT showed metastatic spread to lymph nodes of the left retroperitoneum. Initially, a bilateral radical orchiectomy was carried out. Histological examination rebutted the radiologist‘ s presumption and showed bilateral testicular seminoma – according to the TNM classification pT3N3M0, SX. The patient subsequently underwent three cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy which achieved remission.
KEY WORDS:
Bilateral testicular tumor, chemotherapy, radical orchiectomy, seminoma, synchronous occurrence.
