    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report one case of bilateral synchronic germ cell testicular tumour of different histology. METHODS/RESULTS: 37 year-old patient with left testicular tumor under study was found to have a contralateral synchronic testicular tumor on ultrasound. Bilateral inguinal orchiectomy was performed and pathology reported the presence of bilateral testicular tumours of different histological type. CONCLUSIONS: Around 75% of the cases of bilateral testicular tumours are metachronic, with only 10% presenting different histology. Histological type often correlates with the ultrasound findings, and the treatment of choice in patients with this type of oncological pathology is bilateral inguinal orchiectomy.
