“…The extent of lymphocytic (T cells) infiltration varies from tumor to tumor and within different parts of the same tumor. Marked lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate or granulomatous inflammation may also be present, which may even overwhelm the tumor [ 12 ]. The stroma also varies in amount and appearance.…”

The development of testes occurs in the abdomen during fetal life, after which they migrate into the scrotal sacs during the third trimester. During their descent, they may get arrested anywhere along the tract. Risk of testicular cancer is higher in patients with undescended testes, abdominal testis being more prone than inguinal. Seminoma is the commonest cancer in undescended testis. However, synchronous seminoma involving bilateral cryptorchid testis is rare. Present case is uncommon due to synchronous involvement of abdominopelvic and inguinal testes in extended age. It also exhibited unusual morphology with marked heterogeneity grossly as well as microscopically, instead of a common homogenous appearance.
