Embryonal cell carcinoma of testis in infants. Report of two cases and review of literature.
Testicular tumours are rare in children, and Embryonal cell carcinoma is the commonest. Orchidectomy with high ligation of the cord and lymphadenectomy, with adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in different combination have been tried. We report two cases aged 2 months and 9 months treated by only orchidectomy and have remained well 3 years and 15 months respectively after surgery.
