A LARGE SEMINOMA ARISING IN ONE OF BILATERAL UNDESCENDED TESTES: A CASE REPORT
Abstract
A large seminoma arising in an undescended testis was diagnosed in a 53-year-old infertile man who had bilateral undescended testes and presented with progressive enlargement of abdominal mass. Plain KUB revealed evidence of a large soft tissue mass without calcification in left-sided and mid lower abdomen. CT scan showed a large left-sided retroperitoneal mass, extending from the level of left renal hilum to the left inguinal canal. On CT scan, hypodense areas and small calcifications inside the seminoma were noted. The right -sided undescended testis was atrophy and was located in the right inguinal canal.
