CASE 775: ECTOPIC TESTICULAR SEMINOMA, Dr PHAN THANH HAI, Dr TRAN THI BAO CHAU, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

 A 52 year-old monk with LUQ pain for days.

Ultrasound revealed 2 left kidney stones # 6 mm. And a RLQ mass#40x37 maybe GIST beside the cecum. His scrotum were empty both 2 sides.



MSCT detected right testicle at RLQ and left one inside the left inguinal canal. And a left renal stone.




Surgery removed the right testicular tumor and reconstructed the left inguinal canal in bringing back the left undescended testicle to the left scrotum.

Result of histoanapathogy of the right testicular tumor was seminoma.


So the monk got a testicular tumor that maybe due to be misplaced into the abdominal cavity; and an undescended testicle in the left inguinal canal which is called a cryptochism.
