OBJECTIVE: To optimize fertility preservation management in unilateral or bilateral testicular cancer. DESIGN: Case series. SETTING: Urology department and reproductive biology laboratory. PATIENT(S): Dizygotic azoospermic twins presenting unilateral and bilateral synchronous testicular tumors. INTERVENTION(S): Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and orchiectomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Semen analysis, histologic diagnosis. RESULT(S): No spermatozoa were cryopreserved for the first case, because fertility preservation was proposed after orchiectomy. Spermatozoa were retrieved after TESE for his brother with bilateral tumor. CONCLUSION(S): Clinicians should be aware of the need to recommend sperm banking before treatments may alter spermatogenesis. TESE may be the sole option for fertility preservation in bilateral testicular cancer.
