title: Successful bilateral testicular sparing surgery for benign teratoma.
abstract: Pediatric testicular tumors are well suited for testicular sparing surgery due to the high incidence of non-malignant lesions in this population and the observed low incidence of recurrence or complication. Bilateral pediatric testicular tumors have been rarely reported; however, testicular sparing surgery, if possible, is an attractive alternative to radical orchiectomy in an effort to preserve testicular parenchyma and function. To our knowledge, we present the first reported case of successful bilateral testicular sparing surgery.
