“…In patients with intraabdominal testicle, the risk of development of cancer is 200-fold higher compared to patients with scrotal testicle (7). Cancer makes a peak at the age of two and in adolescence in children with scrotal testicle and undescended testicle (8). However, the risk of malignancy more frequently increases in the 3 rd and 4 th decade of life in patients with undescended testicle (6).…”

Undescended testicle is the most common congenital anomaly among males. Testicular tumor develops in 3-5% of the boys with a complaint of undescended testicle. The clinical presentation of malignant intra-abdominal testicular tumors ranges from asymptomatic cases to acute abdomen. In this study, we present a child with testicular tumor rupture which is observed very rarely. A 16-year-old boy presented 24 hours after the sudden onset of right lower quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting and fever. On physical examination, extensive tenderness in the abdomen and abdominal guarding were found. The right testicle was not palpable. The serum white blood cell count was elevated. Ultrasonography and abdominal computerized tomography scan demonstrated a perforated, hyperdense mass with free fluid in the abdomen. The preoperative alpha fetoprotein level was found to be increased. We performed surgery with laparoscopy and a perforated right intraabdominal testicle was found in the right iliac fossa. The mass was excised. Histopathological examination revealed a yolk sac tumor. Ruptured nonpalpable testicular tumors are very rare. To our knowledge, this is the first adolescent case reported so far. Testicular tumor rupture should be considered in patients with nonpalpable testicle and acute abdomen. Laparoscopy may be performed in differential diagnosis and treatment of these patients. (Turk Pediatri Ars 2016; 51: 159-61)

“…However, most of these malignancies are observed in normal scrotal testicles (4,8). The histological type observed in patients with undescended testicle is seminoma (43-90%) and yolk sac tumor, teratocarcinoma and choriocarcinoma (10-57%) have also been reported (3,6).…”

However, testis-sparing surgery should be considered when the normal testicular tissueis suitable on ultrasonography and in children with testicular tumor normal AFP levels 2,4,5 .…”

ÖzetÇocuklarda testis tümörleri nadirdir. Teratomlar ve yolk sac tümörleri çocuklarda en sık görülen testis tümörleridir. Testis tümörleri sıklıkla ağrısızdır. Bu yanlışlıkla hidrosel tanısına neden olur. Tanıda tümör belirteçleri ve ultrasonografi kullanılmaktadır. Benign tümörler malign tümörlerden daha sık görülmektedir. Testis tümörlerin temel tedavisi inguinal orşiyektomidir.
