a b s t r a c tWe report a case of intra-abdominal testicular torsion, of eight years old boy who presented with asymptomatic left impalpable testis. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a twisted small intra-abdominal testis in which the spermatic cord twisted 3 times over a band attached to the internal ring. The cord was long enough to bring the small testis into the scrotal sac. This case highlights the pole of laparoscopy in the management of impalpable testes.

“…The presence of a neoplasia does predispose to testicular torsion, but the potential effect of ischaemia on tumour regression or progression has not been established. [10] Therefore, the risk of neoplasia for an intra-abdominal testis and the ischaemia related to torsion emphasizes the value of There are multiple theories surrounding the phenomenon of testicular descent, where physical and endocrine factors are important, [3] such as gonadotropin production and androgen synthesis. It is also well known that gubernaculum testis is mechanically involved in the descent of the testis as well as hormonal target.…”

The authors report a case of intra-abdominal testicular torsion, where laparoscopy has been useful for diagnosis and surgical management. A boy was presented with a left impalpable testis. Laparoscopy revealed a twisted spermatic cord at the inlet pelvis, which ended in a testicular remnant located in the sub-umbilical area. After orchiectomy, the pathologist confirmed testicular atrophy. Diagnosis of intra-abdominal testicular torsion should be considered in patients with impalpable testis and abdominal pain, but could not be excluded in those with no symptoms.

“…Afterwards, there were less published cases due to advances in investigation on the evolution of undescendent testicles, its relation with cancer and the prevention actions taken. In the last 20 years there were less published cases, which would be explained by the progressive reduction due to the prevention of tumors incidence in abdominal testicles [11]. …”

Tumor in undescended intrapelvic testis revealed by supraclavicular lymphadenopathy: a case report and literature review

BackgroundTesticular cancer is a rare disease. The incidence of testicular cancer in undescended testicles is of 3 to 48 times greater than in the general population. In the developed countries, the existence of undescended testicles in the adult population is rare, due to systematic practice of elective orchidopexy before the second year of life and orchiectomy in post adolescent males with undescended testicles. Despite these prevention measures, there are still some isolated cases of intra-abdominal testicular tumors in adults. We report a case of testicular cancer in cryptorchid testis revealed by supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.Case presentationWe report a case of a 46 year old fertile man with a history of unilateral cryptorchidism who presented with a palpable left supraclavicular mass and absence of the right testicle. On investigations an intrapelvic testis tumor was diagnosed. Laparotomy and complete excision was carried out. The possible association between the undescended testis and cancer transformations is briefly discussed.ConclusionTesticular cancer in undescended testicles should not be ignored. Only early diagnosis and lower of testis in scrotumprevent such clinical forms.
