Carcinoma in situ of the testis followed by an overt malignant teratoma of the testis within 12 months.
A case of bilateral metachronous testicular non-seminomatous germ cell tumour (NSGCT) is presented. The second tumour was preceded by carcinoma in situ, diagnosed at the time of the first orchidectomy. The patient was placed under active surveillance and 1 year later the second testis tumour developed. A second orchidectomy was performed and testosterone replacement begun. Carcinoma in situ of the testis is discussed.
