Resumen
Objetivo

Insistir en la mayor incidencia de cáncer testicular en la criptorquidia y expresar el manejo más adecuado de dicha patología.

Observación clínica

Presentamos un paciente de 27 años con antecedentes de criptorquidia que se diagnostica de urgencias de tumoración abdominal, que correspondió a un seminoma sobre testículo intrapélvico.

Discusión

El riesgo de padecer cáncer testicular en la criptorquidia es de 3 a 10 veces mayor que en el paciente con testes normodescendidos, y la orquidopexia no previene frente a la futura malignización. Se resalta la necesidad de seguimiento en estos pacientes, y se recomienda la orquiectomía en los pacientes pospuberales.

Palabras clave:
Criptorquidia
Maldescenso testicular
Cáncer testicular
Abstract
Objective

This report insists on the hihger risk of testicular cancer in cryptorchidism and indicates the more adequate management of this patology.

Methods/results

We report a 27 years old patient with history of cryptorchidism, diagnosed of abdominal tumor in urgency. This tumor was a seminoma in intrapelvic testicle.

Conclusions

The risk of developing testicular cancer in cryptorchidism is 3 to 10 times greater than in a patient with normally descended testes, and orchiopexy does not prevent the risk of malignancy. We underscore the need to follow these patients closely and recommend the orchiectomy in postpubertal patients.

Key words:
Cryptorchidism
Maldescended testis
Testicular cancer
