The surgical community has little to no knowledge of cryptorchid testis in adults apart from of pediatric surgeons. Therefore, we sought to describe this unusual cause of inguinal hernia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PRESENTATION OF CASE:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 50-year-old man was referred with a inguinal hernia. Diagnosis of cryptorchidism was made during surgery, as the patient underwent an operation for repair of his left inguinal hernia. The testicle was non-viable and a left testicle was resected. Histopathology report confirmed a atrophic testis without testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is an extremely rare case of cryptorchidism revealed in an adult. The patient remained asymptomatic for 50 years. Most studies have concluded that there is a direct correlation between how long the testis was subjected to a cryptorchid position and TGCT incidence. The recommended age of surgical correction is before the age of 2 years. In our case, we did not find correlation between the time of surgery and risk of TGCT. Histopathology report confirmed the presence of leydig cells, seminiferous tubule and Sertoli cells without TGCT. Very little is known about link between cryptorchidism and TGCT. The correct diagnosis of inguinal hernia is usually made during an inguinal hernia repair.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The surgeon must always be alert to the possibility of cryptorchid testis during a surgical exploration of an inguinal hernia. In suspected cases, laparoscopy ultrasonographic, CT scan and laparoscopy evaluation may be helpful in diagnosing of this atypical inguinal hernia before surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2014.03.015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,16]],"date-time":"2014-04-16T01:30:53Z","timestamp":1397611853000},"page":"416-418","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["A rare variant of inguinal hernia"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Radwan","family":"Kassir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joelle","family":"Dubois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sid-Ali","family":"Berremila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sylviane","family":"Baccot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexia","family":"Boueil-Bourlier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Tiffet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.1590\/S0004-27302005000100021","article-title":"Cryptorchidism: diagnosis and treatment","volume":"49","author":"Longui","year":"2005","journal-title":"Arq Bras Endocrinol Metabol"},{"key":"R2-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ede.0000254061.90686.9f","article-title":"Cryptorchidism according to maternal gestational smoking","volume":"18","author":"Jensen","year":"2007","journal-title":"Epidemiology"},{"key":"R3-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"598","DOI":"10.1210\/me.2011-1283","article-title":"Cryptorchidism in mice with an androgen receptor ablation in gubernaculum testis","volume":"24","author":"Kaftanovskaya","year":"2012","journal-title":"Mol Endocrinol"},{"key":"R4-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1176","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2013.10.010","article-title":"Management of Spigelian hernia caused by necrobiotic fibroma of theuterus in a pregnant woman#","volume":"4","author":"Kassir","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"R5-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2406","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2011.08.008","article-title":"Diagnostic imaging in cryptorchidism: utility, indications, and effectiveness","volume":"46","author":"Tasian","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"R6-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-9941.118822","article-title":"Laparoscopic management of impalpable undescended testes: 20 years' experience","volume":"9","author":"Mehendale","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Minim Access Surg"},{"key":"R7-19-20260114","first-page":"92","article-title":"Management of the Aymand's Hernia in laparoscopy","volume":"3","author":"Kassir","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Curr Surg"},{"key":"R8-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1835","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa067588","article-title":"Age at surgery for undescended testis and risk of testicular cancer","volume":"356","author":"Pettersson","year":"2007","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"R9-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1440","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2007.05.166","article-title":"Prepubertal orchiopexy for cryptorchidism may be associated with lower risk of testicular cancer","volume":"178","author":"Walsh","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"R10-19-20260114","first-page":"1448","article-title":"HCG in the treatment of cryptorchidism.
