RESUMO
El cáncer testicular bilateral suponen el 2-5 % de todos los tumores de testículo, aunque actualmente esa prevalencia va aumentando. La edad media de aparición es de los 15-35 años y el 75 % de ellos se presenta metacrónicamente. Suele haber hallazgos histológicos similares en ambos testículos, siendo el tipo histológico más frecuente el seminoma. El factor de riesgo más importante en el desarrollo del cancer testicular es la presencia de neoplasia intratubular de células germinales. El tratamiento de elección es la orquiectomía radical , aunque en algunos casos seleccionados se puede realizar una cirugía conservadora del testículo Presentamos 4 casos atendidos en nuestro servicio, analizamos los factores de riesgo, manejo de los tumores y realizamos una revisión de la literatura médica
Bilateral testicular cancer represents from 2 to 5 % of all testicle tumors, even though this prevalence nowadays is increasing. The median age of presentation was from 15 to years and in approximately 75 % of them occurred metachronously. There used to be concordance in histological findings between both testicles, being seminoma the most common histological type. The most important risk factor in the development of testicular cancer is the presence of intratubular germ cell neoplasia. Radical orquiectomy is the treatment to choose, although in some carefully selected patients testis-sparing surgery may be considered. We present four cases attended in our medical service, we analize the risk factors, management of tumors and a medical literature review is done
