ABSTRACT
We herein present a rare case of germ-cell tumor in an intra-abdominal testis of a 39-year-old patient. Cryptorchidism is one of the most important risk factors predisposing to testicular cancer. Our case underlines the importance of performing a prophylactic orchidectomy for all ectopic testes not brought down by the second year of life. The treatment of seminoma consists of inguinal orchidectomy possibly in combination with radio- or chemotherapy depending on the tumor stage
