Resumen

El tumor germinal bilateral representa entre el 1 y el 4% de los tumores de testículo y suele plantear al urólogo importantes dificultades en su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Aportamos el caso de un paciente de 30 años, diagnosticado de seminoma con áreas de tumor del saco vitelino en teste izquierdo, que fue tratado con orquiectomía. Once meses después, presentó una segunda neoplasia en el teste contralateral, cuya histología fue de seminoma clásico con carcinoma “in situ” peritumoral, siendo tratado también con orquiectomía

Se revisa la literatura médica, con especial referencia a los factores de riesgo implicados y al manejo de estos tumores: la detección de carcinoma “in situ” aparece como factor predictivo más potente. Se plantea la realización de biopsia testicular contralateral en casos seleccionados. Aunque la orquiectomía radical sigue siendo el tratamiento de elección, la radioterapia local y la cirugía conservadora representan una alternativa en casos de tumor bilateral

Palabras clave:
Tumor germinal de testículo bilateral
Carcinoma in situ
Biopsia contralateral
Cirugía conservadora
Abstract

The germinal bilateral tumor represents from 1 to 4% of the testicle tumors, and it usually turns to be one of the most difficult ones when talking about diagnosis and treatment. We are attaching a 30 years old patient case, with a diagnosis consisting in a seminoma with yolk salc tumor area’s from the left testicle, that was treated with orquiectomy. Eleven months later, the patient presented a second neoplasm in the contralateral testicle, whose histology was a classical seminoma with carcinoma “in situ” peritumoral, being also treated with orquiectomy

Medical literature is revised with emphasis in the involved risk factors and the tecniques used to treat these testis tumor groups: carcinoma “in situ” detection appears to be the strongest predicting factor. Testicular contralateral biopsia is proposed in some select cases. Even though radical orquiectomy is still the treatment to choose, local radiotherapy and consevative surgery are also an option in patients with bilateral tumor

Key words:
Bilateral germ cell cancer of the testis
Carcinoma “in situ”
Contralateral biopsia
Conservative surgery
