Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Testicular cancer is the most frequent solid tumor in young people. Most germ cell tumors of the testis, with the exception of vitelline tumors and teratomas in children, and spermatocytic seminoma in the elderly, derive from a common precursor. This precursor, initially described as carcinoma in situ (CIS), is now referred to as intratubular Germinal Cell Neoplasia (ITGCN). CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 37-year-old man with intratubular Germinal Cell Neoplasia (ITGCN) on a testis already treated for cryptorchidism in a context of infertility. We proposed active surveillance, but the patient preferred radiotherapy. DISCUSSION: The origin of ITGCN is still not fully understood. The detection of ITGN is often incidental since it typically does not present with noticeable symptoms, and clinical examination may appear normal. The standard treatment for ITGCN is scrotal radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: The standard treatment for ITGCN is scrotal radiotherapy. However, for patients who desire to preserve fertility, regular observation may be considered as an alternative.
