Abstract
This clinical case involves a 52-year-old married patient with two children who presented initially with left-sided pelvic pain, leading to the discovery of a tumor on a cryptorchid testicle. Further evaluation revealed a suspicious lesion, indicating degeneration of a testicle in an aberrant position. Surgical intervention via laparoscopic orchidectomy confirmed a seminoma, emphasizing the association between cryptorchidism and testicular germ cell tumors. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and management of cryptorchidism to mitigate the risk of testicular malignancies, highlighting the necessity for timely surgical intervention and careful monitoring of patients with undescended testicles.
