Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of testicular tumors in children are customarily associated with the difficulties caused by the rarity of the disease, the necessity of choosing a correct tactic for its diagnosis, adequate surgical intervention, and further treatment. Childhood testicular tumors are globally described as sporadic cases; the fact that there is no unique diagnosis and treatment program is noteworthy. In the past decades, testicular tumors in children have become a model of curability of malignancy, the major factor of which is its high susceptibility to various chemotherapeutic agents, cisplatin in particular. It is difficult to choose the optimal treatment particularly at the early stages of the disease and in disseminated processes and recurrences. That is why the patients do not always receive optimal medical care.
