Abstract
Neoplasm of the testis comprise a morphologically and clinically diverse group of tumors, more than 95% of which are germ cell tumors (GCTs). We hereby report a case of a patient of age 33 years/male who had a history of bilateral undescended testis. He presented with large abdominal masses with raised tumor markers. We discuss the management of synchronous bilateral germ cell tumor (GCT) which is rare.
