Abstract

A 51 year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of right lower abdominal mass. Physical examination revealed nonpalpable right testicle in the scrotum. Echogram and CT scan of abdomen revealed a well defined round mass in the right lower abdomen. Exploration was performed under the suspicion of abdominal cryptorchid testicular tumor, and the mass was resected completely. The mass was 9X7X4cm in size and l90gm in weight, and cut surface of it showed yellowish-white spherical tumor nodules. Histological examination revealed seminoma. Postoperative right pelvic and retroperitoneal irradiation was performed under the diagnosis of seminoma of stage I. Here we report a case of seminoma developed in abdominal cryptorchid testis.
