Popis: | Testis tumors in children are more likely to be benign that those in adults, and those tumors that are malignant are associated with a much lower incidence of metastases. As a result, a less-aggressive surgical approach to pediatric lesions has evolved. A testis-sparing operation in appropriate cases has potential psychological and cosmetic advantages for the developing child, and there may be functional advantages for fertility when the child matures. |
