Abstract Purpose  To describe clinical characteristics and identify prognostic factors among men with testicular sarcoma, and to compare survival with other testicular cancers. Methods  The surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database (1975–2016) was queried to identify adults with testicular sarcoma. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards, Fine and Gray competing-risks regression, propensity score matching, and Kaplan–Meier analyses were used. Results  230 men were included in this study. Median age at diagnosis was 58 years (range 18–94), and median OS was 10.3 years. Patients with tumors larger than 8 cm in size had worse OS (HR 1.88, p = 0.016) compared to patients with tumors
