Abstract:
Embryonal cell carcinoma of the testes in infants are rare tumors of germ cell origin consisting of undifferentiated multipotent cells. We experienced two cases of embryonal cell carcinoma of the testes in 2 year-old boys, who were carried out immediate orchiectomy. Postoperative follow up results were good.
