[Non germinal cell testicular tumors].
OBJECTIVE
We report a review of all patients with testicular tumors undergoing surgery in our Hospital over a 13 year period. There were 151 cases, 50 of them were reported as non germ cell tumors (33%).


RESULTS
42% of them were haematopoietic tumors, lymphomas and leukemias. 30% of them were non neoplastic tumors, including vascular tumors and granulomatous orchitis. 12% were identified as Leydig or Sertoli cell tumors. 10% were metastases.


CONCLUSIONS
Non germ cell tumors were more frequent in adults (78%) than in children (22%). Among children, 82% of the neoplasias were leukemic infiltration of the testicle.
