Classical Seminoma With Secondary Undescended Testis in an Elderly Patient: An Incidental Finding With a Penile...

Cryptorchidism is a common condition among children; however, it is rare in adults and is associated with an increased risk of malignancy. The development of secondary undescended testes is recognized as a complication following inguinal surgeries such as hernia repair and orchidopexy. Herein, we describe the case of a 64-year-old male with a known past surgical history of right indirect inguinal hernia repair complaining of penile swelling. The patient was diagnosed with a penile fracture, and a genital examination further revealed a right undescended testis. The patient underwent penile fracture repair and right orchiectomy. Histopathology examinations showed classic seminoma. These findings show that the position of each testis should always be documented before, during, and after inguinal hernia repair due to the increased risk of undescended testis. Histopathological confirmation is necessary for such patients so that malignancy can be identified in its early stages and cured subsequently.
