During fatal development, the testes grow in the abdomen and descend into the scrotal sac. It can be stopped at any point along its path (cryptorchidism) or migrate to an atypical side (ectopic testis). A 47-year-old man from Somalia's lower Shabelle region was presented to the urology OPD, He had a history of non-tender abdominal mass for the previous four months, An examination revealed a mass in his abdomen that was firm, non-tender, and immobile, an abdominal ultrasound and a contrast enhanced CT abdomen showed a 15-cm heterogeneous bean-shaped mass above the bladder. After patient counseling and informed written consent, a laparotomy was done to remove the tumor. A seminoma of the undescended testis was identified during a histological examination. An intra-abdominal mass with empty scrotum should raise concerns about an intra-abdominal testicular tumor. To prevent/early discover these types of tumors, cryptorchidism should be treated at a young age, particularly before to the first year.
在睾丸发育过程中,睾丸在腹腔内生长并下降至阴囊。其下降过程可在沿途任何一点受阻(隐睾症),或迁移至异常侧(异位睾丸)。一名来自索马里下谢贝利地区的47岁男子到泌尿外科门诊就诊。他在过去四个月里有腹部无痛性肿块病史。检查发现其腹部有一个质地坚硬、无痛且固定不动的肿块。腹部超声和增强CT显示膀胱上方有一个15厘米的不均匀豆形肿块。在对患者进行咨询并获得知情书面同意后,进行了剖腹手术以切除肿瘤。组织学检查发现为未降睾丸的精原细胞瘤。腹腔内有肿块且阴囊空虚应引起对腹腔内睾丸肿瘤的关注。为预防/早期发现这类肿瘤,隐睾症应在幼年时治疗,尤其是在一岁之前。
