A Unique Case of Bilateral Testicular Tumours: Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumour and Contralateral Spermatocytic Tumour 27 Years Apart
Histogenetically, testicular GCTs are thought to derive from the precursor GCNis, while spermatocytic tumours directly derive from adult spermatogonia. This case is exceptional, firstly because of the very long interval of 27 years between the two neoplastic events, and secondly because of the unprecedented occurrence of two testicular neoplasms with different pathogenetic origins in 1 individual patient.
