Massive Bleeding Caused by Rupture of Intra-abdominal Testicular Seminoma: Case Report

Hemorrhagic Shock Caused by Rupture of an Intra-Abdominal Leydig Cell Tumour: Case Report

“…Acute abdomen and massive bleeding is a very rare presentation of a cryptoid testicular cancer, with 2 cases of ruptured intra-abdominal seminomas reported in the literature [11, 12]. It is interesting to mention that Sertoli-Leydig tumours of the ovary have been reported to rupture into the abdomen [13].…”

Ruptured intra-abdominal testicular seminoma with hemorrhage shock, after inadequate surgical exploration for undescended testis: a case report

“…Intra-abdominal hemorrhage from a seminoma arising from an undescended testis located in the abdominal cavity is a rare condition, with only five reports since 1970 of bleeding due to an intra-abdominal seminoma [12][13][14][15][16] (Table 1). According to these reports, one patient had a history of previous surgery for an undescended testis [13]. All five patients had undergone tumor resection, and distant or lymph node metastasis was not detected in pre-operative and/or intra-operative findings.…”

Seminoma—a rare cause of a bleeding intra‐abdominal mass

“…Often the finding of an undescended testicle is missed on the initial examination, and the aetiology of the mass is not revealed by CT imaging. They are commonly associated with significant volumes of haemoperitoneum and haemodynamic instability 4–10 …”
