A case of bilateral testicular tumours of germ cell origin is reported. A 35-year-old man with bilateral testicular swelling visited our clinic. Bilateral high orchiectomy was performed. Histological examination of both resected testis revealed typical seminoma. Postoperative irradiation was performed. The patient is doing well after one year of postoperative follow-up without any sign of metastasis. Besides this case, we found 115 cases of bilateral testicular germ cell tumours in the Japanese literature. There were 39 cases with different and 76 cases with similar histology between the left and right testis. The age distribution, location of testis, time of onset and histological classification of these cases is discussed.

D004407 Dysgerminoma A malignant ovarian neoplasm, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. It is the counterpart of the classical seminoma of the testis, to which it is both grossly and histologically identical. Dysgerminomas comprise 16% of all germ cell tumors but are rare before the age of 10, although nearly 50% occur before the age of 20. They are generally considered of low-grade malignancy but may spread if the tumor extends through its capsule and involves lymph nodes or blood vessels.
