Bilateral occurrence of a primary testicular tumor is unusual. The reported incidence of bilateral germ cell tumors of the testes has been between 0.5 and 7% and the majority of these cancers (90%) are metachronous. We report the case of a 27-year-old man with synchronous bilateral seminoma and discuss the value of the histopathological diagnosis in therapy and prognosis. The related literature is concisely reviewed.
