Abstract
- Incidence of testicular tumor is 1-2% in all male tumor. Various series report that 3.6-11.6% of testicular tumor arise in patient with cryptorchidism or a history of cryptorchidism. But testicular tumors developed in suprapubic ectopic testis were reported rarely. Seminoma is one of the most radiosensitive tumor. However, the survival of patients with advanced tumor is poor. Therefore adjuvant systemic chemotherapy is essential for proper treatment of these patients. Recently we experienced a case of advanced seminoma resulted from suprapubic ectopic testis and treated by orchiectomy, systemic chemotherapy and radiation with good result.
