Abstract Aim: The aim of this report is to describe two cases of testis-sparing surgery and to discuss the feasibility, safety and outcome of this treatment modality. Patients and Methods: We here present the cases of two boys, a 12-year-old and a 7-year-old, exhibiting a Large-Cell Calcifying Sertoli Cell Tumor (LCCSCT) and a Leydig Cell Tumor (LCT) respectively. All operations were performed through an inguinal approach by cold ischemia and with organ-sparing surgery. Results: Neither of the patients exhibited intraoperative or postoperative complications. After a mean follow-up of 25 months (range 16–34) the patients were free of disease. Conclusion: Testis-sparing surgery by cold ischemia and frozen-section examination is advisable for pediatric patients with benign testicular masses.
