Testicular malignancy in a father and son is reported. The father had sequential bilateral seminomas while the son had embryonal cell carcinoma and seminoma. Reported cases of father-son testicular malignancy are reviewed and a predominance of seminomas in the fathers is apparent while the sons' tumors are highly malignant teratomas, choriocarcinomas and embryonal cell carcinomas. The possibility of genetic anticipation in father-son testicular malignancy is discussed.
