  • Title: [Embryonal carcinoma in the cryptorchid testis: apropos a case].
    Author: Arnáiz Esteban JF, Pérez Arbej JA, Fernández Rosáenz J, Martínez Pérez E, Abad Menor F, Nogueras Gimeno MA, Espuela Orgaz R.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1992 Mar; 45(2):156-8. PubMed ID: 1348922.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of testicular embryonal carcinoma in a patient with bilateral cryptorchidism. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this disease entity are discussed. Although scrotal ultrasound constitutes an effective diagnostic method, it does not provide pathognomonic images that permit determining tumor histology as shown in the present case. Treatment of this tumor type depends on the degree of tumor spread: for stage I: inguinal orchidectomy and stage II: orchidectomy+lymphadenectomy. The need for adjuvant chemotherapy in these cases is discussed. In our view, it must depend on each specific case.
