Spermatocytic tumor is a very rare germ cell testicular neoplasm that accounts for less than 1% of testicular cancers. It generally affects older men with a mean age of 53.6 years (range 19-92 years). Spermatocytic tumor is classified within the group of germ cell tumors not related to germ cell neoplasia in situ. It presents clinicopathological characteristics different from classic seminoma and is not considered a variant of the latter. Due to a morphologic overlap with classical seminoma, it was called "sperm cell seminoma" in the past. The anaplastic variant of spermatocytic tumor is exceptional, few cases have been described in the literature, it presents an earlier onset compared to spermatocytic tumor and a benign behavior despite showing histological patterns similar to classic seminoma. We present the second case of bilateral synchronous anaplastic spermatocytic tumor, in a young patient treated with orchiectomy and chemotherapy.
