What is it about?
Familial testicular germ cell tumours (FTGCT) are testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) diagnosed in at least two blood relatives and account for 1-2% of all cases of TGCT. Brothers and fathers of TGCT patients have an 8-10 and 4-6-fold increased risk of TGCT, respectively. We report a case of testicular germ cell tumour in two siblings.
