These may occur synchronously or metachranously. We report here a case of bilateral SS in a 63-year-old patient, who initially presented with bilateral testicular masses. In our search of the literature, this represents the fifth documented case of synchronous, bilateral SS.Keywords: spermatocytic seminoma, bilateral seminoma, testicular, urology, scrotal swelling
