An even more seldom event is the appearance of a testicular germ cell tumor with a contralateral benign non-germ cell tumor. We report the 6 th case of such a coincidence.

Even in cases of bilateral testis cancer tumor enu cleation may be considered, if the strict conditions for resection and foll ow-up are respected.
