title: [Undescended testicular tumor found by torsion of the testis: a case report].
abstract: A 37-year-old man was admitted with a painful mass in his left inguinal region. He had an undescended testis on the left side. Six months earlier, he had noted that his left inguinal testis was larger, and he had suddenly developed pain in the left inguinal region. The levels of AFP, hCG beta and LDH were normal. We diagnosed a left undescended testicular tumor and torsion of the left testis. Left inguinal high orchiectomy showed a torsion of the left testis and histopathological examination of the specimen revealed seminoma.
