“…Large-scale investigations on over 500 patients with testicular tumors show a 5.9 [1], 8.2 [2], 11.0 [3], 11.6% [4] incidence of undescended testes. According to the literature, malignancy is 10-40 times more likely to develop than in the general popula tion [5,6], All results published so far on this problem have been on a retrospective basis. We should now like to present data from a prospective multicenter study [7,8] on testicular tumors and cryptorchidism which has been in progress since September 1, 1976, in West Germany and Austria.…”

71 (7.2%) of 990 patients with testicular tumors were either clinically cryptorchid or had a history of maldescendent testis. 3.4% of the tumors arose in untreated or unsuccessfully treated testicular nondescent. Ipsilateral and contralateral development of malignancy were equally common. Neoplastic changes were even observed in patients who had undergone corrective surgery prior to their 5th year of life. There was no predominating histologic type of tumor.

The role of cryptorchidism in testicular carcinogenesis has been of concern for many physicians for quite a long time. The probability of a malignant neoplasm developing in an undescended testicle is about 20 to 48 times greater than a normally descended testicle. In a review of 74 patients treated with a diagnosis of testicular seminoma at the Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, from 1959 to 1978, six cases were identified with a history of cryptorchidism. A detailed review of these patients along with literature review is done in this paper. The different etiologic factors for tumorigenesis in this group of patients is also discussed. The importance of periodic follow-up of these patients is also stressed in this paper.
