“…Tümör gelişiminin karın içi yerleşimli inmemiş testisler için, daha yüksek olabileceği uzun yıllar-dır belirtilmektedir. Değişik kaynaklara göre, inmemiş testis ile bağlantı kurulabilen testis tümörlerinin önemli bir bölümü karın içi yerleşimli testislerden kaynaklanmaktadır (17)(18)(19) . Bu serideki erişkin tümörle-ri içinde, abdominal testis öyküsü ile ilgili bir veriye rastlanmamıştır.…”

“…Since then, the increased risk of malignant degeneration of the crypt orchid testis has been estimated to be 20 to 46 times greater than that of the general population [13]. Intra-abdominal testes are six times more likely to develop a testis tumor than the undescended testis located in an inguinal position [14].…”

A twelve year old boy was operated for right-sided undescended testis. Failure of uro-genital union was found with the right testis and caput epididymidis intraabdominally situated, and the blind ending vas situated at the iliac vessels. The risk of development of malignancy in an intra-abdominal testis has been calculated to be one in 20 to 46 times greater than general population. We describe a case in whom impalpable undescended testes was located in a high position. This case highlights the importance of performing a thorough inspection of the entire abdomen and pelvis if the impalpable testis is not found in an expected location. The finding of a blind-ended vas deferens with epididymal tissue at the internal ring does not exclude an intra-abdominal testis. Management of the non palpable testis is consists of ultrasound, MRI, testicular venography, laproscopy. In our opinion, laparoscopy is the ideal first step in the management of patients with a nonpalpable testis, having a great reliability in locating or confirming absence of an occult testis.

“…Two retrospective studies performed by Gilbert and Hamilton [3] and by Campbell [4] indicated a 40-to 50-fold increased relative risk of testicular cancer in men with a history of cryptorchidism. The calculations were based on the assumption that approximately 12% of patients with testicular cancer have a history of malde scent while the prevalence of cryptorchidism was stated to be 0.28%.…”
