Abstract

Testicular and paratesticular tumors are rare in the prepubertal age group as compared with the postpubertal period and adulthood. Testicular tumors are separated mainly into two groups; germ cell tumors (teratoma, yolk sac tumors, epidermoid cyst) and gonadal stromal tumors (Juvenile granulosa cell, Leydig cell, and Sertoli cell tumors). Paratesticular tumors can either be lipomas, leiomyomas, hemangiomas, or rhabdomyosarcomas. Physical examination, serum markers, and the scrotal ultrasound have an important role in their diagnosis. Testes-sparing surgery is gaining more grounds in children owing to the dominancy of benign tumors. In malignant tumors, radical orchiectomy and selective chemotherapy are standard approaches. Radiotherapy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection have a minimal role in treatment.
