title: Contralateral testicular cancer despite negative biopsy 30 months earlier.
abstract: Contralateral testis biopsy in patients with unilateral testis germ cell cancer is a controversial topic. We present a case of a young male who develops a second testis germ cell cancer despite negative biopsy 30 months earlier. A review of the newest studies and the Scandinavian and European guidelines concerning contralateral testis biopsy is performed.
