Abstract

ResumenLos tumores testiculares germinales son los tumores sólidos más comunes en los adolescentes y adultos jóvenes entre los 15 y 35 años. Los tumores testiculares bilaterales son raros, la incidencia de un segundo tumor testicular contralateral en pacientes con antecedente de tumor germinal es del 1% al 5% publicada en las grandes series. Se han identificado diversos factores de riesgo como la historia familiar, criptorquidia, disgenesia gonadal, infertilidad, atrofia testicular, trauma escrotal. Se sabe que el antecedente de tumor testicular germinal es el principal factor para el desarrollo de tumores testiculares contralaterales. Aproximadamente el 50% de las lesiones metacrónicas aparecen en un periodo de 5 años, se ha reportado que hasta el 23% de los pacientes presenta tumor metacrónico más de 10 años después. Presentamos un caso clínico de un paciente con tumor testicular metacrónico, después de 19 años de la orquiectomía radical.

Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common solid tumors in adolescent and young adult males between the ages of 15 and 35 years. Bilateral testicular tumors are rare and the incidence of a contralateral second testicular tumor in patients with a history of germ cell tumor is from 1% to 5%, as published in large series. Different risk factors have been identified, such as family history, cryptorchidism, gonadal dysgenesis, infertility, testicular atrophy, and scrotal trauma. It is known that a history of testicular germ cell tumor is the main factor in the development of contralateral testicular tumors. Approximately 50% of the metachronous lesions appear within a 5-year period. Up to 23% of the patients have been reported to present with metachronous tumor after a period of more than 10 years. We present herein the clinical case of a patient with metachronous testicular tumor 19 years after radical orchiectomy.
