Ruptured Seminoma of Undescended Testis Presenting as Acute Abdomen: Case Report with Literature Review

Author(s):

Singh P, Bajaj K, Kaur R, Mishra A, Riar HK

We present a case of a 28â�?�?�?�?yearâ�?�?�?�?old male who presented with acute abdomen and was later diagnosed to be having ruptured intraâ�?�?�?�?abdominal seminoma with hemoperitoneum, where the preâ�?�?�?�?operative diagnosis was not made. Laprotomy and complete excision were carried out. Rupture of intraâ�?�?�?�?abdominal testicular seminoma is a rare cause of acute abdomen and hemoperitoneum. The preâ�?�?�?�?operative diagnosis is often difficult because history of cryptorchidism is not provided and imaging findings may be nonâ�?�?�?�?specific. In a male patient with acute abdomen and without previous history of orchidectomy, a testicular aetiology of acute abdomen should be kept as the differential diagnosis.
