Unusual incidence of testicular tumors.
Although carcinoma of the testicle is a rare lesion, one family physician saw three cases in 18 months. He diagnosed all correctly and referred the patients for treatment immediately. All three patients are living and well. We believe his alertness is worthy of note because, given the rarity of the lesion, a low index of suspicion and delayed diagnosis often occur, with less than desirable results.
