PRIMARY TESTICULAR AND PARATESTICULAR TUMORS OF CHILDHOOD

Testicular and paratesticular neoplasms are uncommon tumors of childho od. Consequently, the experience gained with regard to their optimal m anagement is limited in any given children's cancer centre. Here we re view the classification, diagnosis, and staging of testicular and para testicular neoplasms and subsequently discuss the more frequently occu rring ones: germ cell tumors, gonadal stromal tumors, gonadoblastoma, tumors of the supporting tissue, lymphomas and leukemias, tumor-like l esions, secondary tumors, and tumors of the adnexa.
