Amaç: Testis tümörleri çocukluk çağı solid tümörlerin %1’ni oluşturmaktadır. Kliniğimizde testis tümörü tanısı ile tedavi edilmiş olan olguları geriye dönük değerlendirerek, ikincil cerrahi nedenlerini ve sonuçlarını literatür bilgisi ışığında tartışmayı amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2009-2013 yılları arasında testis tümör tanısı ile opere edilmiş olan olgular hastane kayıtlarından geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: İki ay-17 yaş arasındaki on yedi olgu testis tümörü tanısı ile kliniğimizde opere edildi. Sekiz olgu benign patolojiye sahipti; matür teratom (n=2), rest tümörü (n=1) , sertoliform adenom (n=1), keratinöz kist (n=1), basit mezotelyal kist (n=2), leydig hücreli tümör (n=1). Dokuz olgu malign patolojiye sahipti; paratestikuler rabdomyosarkom (n=1), yolk sac tümör (n=6), mikst germ hücreli tümör (n=2). Beş olguya testis koruyucu cerrahi, on iki hastaya yüksek orşiektomi uygulandı. Testis koruyucu cerrahi uygulanmış olan beş olguda komplikasyon gelişmedi. Başka merkezlerde skrotal girişim uygulanmış olan dört olguya hemiskrotektomi yapıldı. Hemiskrotektomi yapılan olgulardan birinde rezidü tümör saptandı. Retroperitoneal lenf nodu diseksiyonu yapılan üç olgudan birinin patolojisinde malignite saptandı.Sonuç: Testis tümörleri çocukluk yaş grubunda özellikle prepubertal dönemde nadir görülmekte ve genellikle benign karakterdedir. Cerrahi girişim her zaman inguinal kesi ile olmalı, testis koruyucu cerrahinin uygun görülmediği hastalara yüksek orşiektomi uygulanmalıdır. Germ hücreli tümörlerde sebat eden retroperitoneal hastalık varlığında lenf nodu diseksiyonu gerekliliği yönünden olgular değerlendirilmelidir.
Objective: Testicular tumors make up 1% of childhood solid tumors. We retrospectively evaluated the patients who had been treated at our clinic with a diagnosis of testicular tumors and aimed to discuss the causes for redo surgery in the light of the literature.Material and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who had been operated with the diagnosis of testicular tumors between 2009 and 2013 from the hospital records.Results: Seventeen patients with an age range from 2 months to 17 years were operated in our clinic with a diagnosis of testicular tumor. Eight patients had a benign pathologic results consisting of mature teratoma (n=2), rest tumor (n=1), sertoliform adenoma (n=1), keratinous cyst (n=1), simple mesothelial cyst (n=2), and Leydig cell tumor (n=1). Nine patients had a malign result consisting of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (n=1), yolk sac tumor (n=6), and mixed germ cell tumor (n=2). Testis-sparing surgery was performed in five cases while high orchiectomy was performed in twelve cases. No complication was seen in the five patients who underwent a testis-sparing surgery. Hemiscrotectomy was performed in four patients who had undergone scrotal orchiectomy at other medical centers previously. Malignant residual tumor was found in a patient who underwent hemiscrotectomy. Malignancy was detected in one of three patients who underwent retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. conclusion: Testicular cancers are seen rarely in childhood and especially in the prepubertal period and are usually benign. Surgery should always be with inguinal incision, and high orchiectomy should be administered in patients not appropriate for testis-sparing surgery. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (Redo surgery) can be required for the recurrence or residual retroperitoneal disease in the treatment of germ cell tumors

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
