OBJECTIVE To present a case of a bilateral synchronous testicular seminoma in a young male clinical stage IIB. METHODS A 37 years old man presented a bilateral testicular mass with elevated tumoral markers. Histology of frozen section revealed bilateral seminoma and bilateral radical orchiectomy was performed. RESULTS Enhanced chest and abdominopelvic staging CT scan revealed a lymphadenopathy of 30 mm within the inter-aortocava nodal chain (stage IIB). Patient received three cycles of BEP. Three months later 18F-FDG PET showed no evidence of hypermetabolic activity and serum tumoral markers were normal. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral testicular germ cell tumors are a rare disease. Management of this tumors is controversial. Bilateral radical orchiectomy is the standard of care, nevertheless, in order to preserve fertility and androgen production, an organsparing surgery can be attempted in selected cases. Although prognosis is good, with overall survival rates similar to patients with unilateral disease, life-long close follow-up may be advocated due to relapse risk.
