Dear Editor, Carcinoid tumors have been described in a large range of organs, but they most commonly involve the gastrointestinal and bronchopulmonary systems.1 These tumors of the testis are rare entity comprising 〈1% of all testis tumors and can arise as a metastasis from an extratesticular primary as a part of a teratoma or as primary tumor.2 Patients affected by carcinoid tumors present symptoms of carcinoid syndrome, such as diarrhea, flushings, and bronchospasm.3 We report a first case described in scientific literature of primary bilateral synchronous testicular carcinoid tumor that does not associated with carcinoid syndrome. From this publication, at the time of writing,
