  • Title: Malignant degeneration in cryptorchid testes. A report of two cases.
    Author: Mortensen J, Krarup NB, Rasmussen A, Søgaard H.
    Journal: Andrologia; 1983; 15(6):709-12. PubMed ID: 6141746.
    Abstract:
    In two patients with cryptorchism orchidectomy was performed because of testicular atrophy and torsion respectively. From the macroscopic appearance malignancy was not expected in either of the cases, but histological examination showed invasive carcinoma. This indicates that biopsies should be taken whenever operations are performed on cryptorchid testes, and it may be of importance to biopt all cryptorchid testes at a certain age.
