Abstract
Seminomas are very rare tumours in children and adolescents. We describe a case of seminoma in a 15-year-old boy who was managed with orchidectomy but no adjuvant therapy. He remains relapse-free 8 years after surgery as determined by clinical, radiological and serological surveillance. This study emphasizes the uncertainty over the need for adjuvant treatment in the management of seminoma in the adolescent patient, in particular in prepubescent children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
