Urol Ann. 2017 Jan-Mar;9(1):77-79. doi: 10.4103/0974-7796.198889.

Abstract

Cryptorchidism is the most common predisposing factor in the development of testicular germ cell tumors. Seminoma is the most common malignancy developing in a cryptorchid testis, usually has lymphatic but rarely hematogenous metastasis. The Urinary Bladder is an extremely rare site of metastasis of seminoma metastasis. A 29-year-old male patient presented to us with a history of infertility and an intra-abdominal mass. He was investigated and treated and was found to have an intra-abdominal seminoma with synchronous urinary bladder metastasis. He was treated with appropriate chemotherapy and continues to be in good health.

Keywords: Cryptorchidism; metastasis; seminoma; testicular germ cell tumors; urinary bladder.
