## Abstract
Cryptorchidism is the most common congenital malformation of the male genitourinary tract. An undescended testicle has a 10% chance of developing cancer, with an intra-abdominal testicle having the highest risk. We present a 24-year-old man with a history of bilateral cryptorchidism, complaining of lower abdominal mass for two months. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed an intra-abdominal mass lesion measuring 13 x 9 cm and displacing the bladder caudally. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a right intra-abdominal testicular tumor. A right orchiectomy and left orchidopexy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a testicular seminoma. The patient was discharged without complications and was referred to the oncology department for chemotherapy and further management. Our findings support the early treatment and close monitoring of cases of cryptorchidism due to the risk of malignancy as well as the necessity of routine scrotal examinations in all males presenting with an abdominal mass.
