Abstract
Testis tumors account for less than 1% among all male cancers, however it is the most common male malignancy between the ages of 20 and 40. Nearly 2% of all testis tumors are bilateral. A 42 year old man underwent orchiectomy operation because of left testicular tumor 14 years ago. Seven years ago ultrasonographic examination performed because of a new mass in the right testis was compatible with immature teratoma. The pathologic evaluation of right testicular orchiectomy material was concluded as seminoma. After the second orchiectomy operation the patient had received Bleomycine, Etoposide and Cisplatin (BEP) chemotheraphy regimen for 4 cycles. Since the second operation he receives testosteron as local gel because of the hypergonadotropic hypogonadism due to orchiectomy. Control parameters such as computed tomographic and ultrasonographic evaluation of abdomen and alpha fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotropin levels are all in normal ranges.
