Synchronous bilateral germ cell tumo (BGCT) of the testis is rare and its association with bilateral cryptorchidism is even rarer. We report one case of BGCT of testis with bilateral cryptorchidism who presented as blunt injury abdomen in emergencyand was not diagnosed preoperatively. Postoperatively after an appropriate diagnosis, he was managed with chemotherapy. In this report, we have reviewed the larger series of BGCT for the presentation and management of synchronous BGCT to derive some conclusions.
