Abstract
Testicular tumors are relatively rare tumors accounting for about 1–2% of all malignant neoplasms in man. Estimates of the incidence of all testicular tumors usually lie between two to three per 100,000 men per year [1, 2, 3]. Unlike most malignant tumors, those of the testicle are essentially tumors which attack men in their prime and so the emotional impact is great [4].
