Abstract

Ectopic testis is a condition where one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum during fetal development. It is one of the highest risk factors for testicular cancer in males. We report a case of a 33-year-old male patient, who had two healthy children, diagnosed with a seminoma in a left-sided intra-abdominal ectopic testis. The patient underwent laparoscopic left orchiectomy. and after treatment, he additionally received one cycle of chemotherapy with Carboplatin (AUC 7).
