ABSTRACT
We report a case of metachronous bilateral testicular tumors combined with hydrocele. A 46-year-old male presented with frequently recurrent left hydrocele. His medical history included a stage IIA right testicular tumor,which had been treated with right high orchiectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection 22 years ago. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed hydrocele and a low intensity area in the left testis,and the patient underwent left high orchiectomy. After cytological examination of the hydrocele it was categorized as class V,and after a pathological study it was diagnosed as seminoma and embryonal carcinoma. Since postoperative computed tomography showed lung metastasis,treatment with bleomycin,etoposide,and cisplatin (BEP) was indicated. Three courses of BEP produced a complete response. No recurrent testicular tumor was seen at 3 months after the BEP therapy. A metachronous testicular tumor should be considered in patients with a history of testicular tumors who frequently develop recurrent hydrocele.
