Six cases of testicular tumors in children are presented: 3 patients had teratoma, 1 embryonal carcinoma, 1 orchioblastoma, and 1 paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma. Three of the 6 patients presented with hydroceles. The treatment consisted of orchiectomy alone. All patients were alive and free of disease one and one-half to eight and one-half years after orchiectomy. It is suggested that orchiectomy alone is curative in most children with testicular tumors under the age of two years.
