abstract: A case of Cryptorchidism involving a father and all his four sons who are product of a nonconsanguineous marriage has been described. From a review of the literature, as well as evidence derived from the family history, it is suggested that the mode of inheritance may be autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance or multifactorial.
