Abstract
Summary— Testicular tumours are rare in childhood. The clinical, pathological and follow‐up details of 48 children are presented. The combined approach of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy is confirmed as being extremely effective. Transcrotal orchiectomy is not an appropriate surgical procedure. Testicular biopsy is detrimental to prognosis.Keywords
