Abstract

Thirty-five testicular neoplasms diagnosed over a twenty-year period in Nigerian children up to the age of twenty years were analyzed. Burkitt lymphoma was the most common cause of testicular neoplasm, while germ cell tumors formed the bulk of non-Burkitt neoplasia (72 per cent). Shortage of testicular germ cell tumors in adult males may account for the over-all low frequency of tumors of the testis in Nigerian Africans.
