Abstract
The findings of non-palpable testicular tumour and contralateral carcinoma in situ testis (CIS) in two men, examined because of infertility, are described. Both patients had no symptoms other than infertility and bilateral testicular atrophy. Ultrasonography showed tumour in both cases and abnormal ultrasonic texture of testicular tissue in the contralateral testis. Both patients had seminomas and contralateral CIS. These cases show the value of ultrasonic examination of testis in men examined for infertility, and ultrasonic examination is recommended in these men, particularly if they have testicular atrophy.
