Cryptorchid testicular tumour presenting with torsion.

An undescended, cryptorchid testis is predisposed to 3 to 40 times risk of malignancy. Torsion of a cryptorchid testis is more difficult to diagnose than a normally placed testis. We present a case of a 25-year-old man with acute abdomen due to the torsion of an intra-abdominal testis. Subsequent histopathology of the testis revealed seminoma, making this single testis the seat for triple pathology. Orchidectomy was done followed by radiotherapy. A follow-up of upto nine months showed no recurrence or metastases.
