Atypical Presentation of Intra - Abdominal Seminoma with Bowel Metastasis in Unilateral Undescended Testes - A Rare Case Report
Dr. Abhishek Saini, Dr. Hemant Kumar Goel, Dr. Arun Makkar
Abstract: Undescended testes, common in boys, is usually found in the superficial inguinal pouch, but can be perineal, femoral, peripenile or intra - abdominal. Untreated intra - abdominal testes can form masses in adulthood, with a 40 - fold increase in cancer risk. This report details a 40 - year - old man with an intra - abdominal mass from unilateral undescended testes, presenting with abdominal pain. The mass was infiltrating the colon, which was successfully excised surgically. Thus thorough evaluation is imperative in men with abdominal masses as there is a huge risk of malignancy in undescended testes, which ensures timely identification and treatment of potential germ cell tumors.
