Testicular seminoma in a long-term survivor of the prune belly syndrome.
Patients with the prune belly syndrome have cryptorchidism as a constant feature of the constellation of anomalies. Testes that do not spontaneously descend represent a well-known risk factor for the development of testicular cancer. In this paper, we present the second case of a primary testicular germ cell tumor in a long-term survivor with prune belly syndrome.
