Ruptured Seminoma of Undescended Testis Presenting as Acute Abdomen: Case Report with Literature Review
Abstract
the pre.operative diagnosis was not made. Laprotomy and complete excision were carried out. Rupture of intra.abdominal testicular seminoma is a rare cause of acute abdomen
and hemoperitoneum. The pre.operative diagnosis is often difficult because history of cryptorchidism is not provided and imaging findings may be non.specific. In a male patient with acute abdomen and without previous history of orchidectomy, a testicular aetiology of acute abdomen should be kept as the differential diagnosis.
