| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: Cryptorchidism is most common genitourinary anomaly in males. The anatomical variations through the cadaveric studies provide crucial information about the relevant structure. We report a rare instance of unilateral testis that was not descended during anatomical dissection. After being preserved using conventional methods, the cadaver showed unilateral undescended right testis free of any visible indications of cancer or other testicular problems. While the left testis was palpable in the scrotal sac, the right testis was placed outside to the superficial ring. With intact blood vessels and vas deferens, both testes showed normal size and structure. Adult-onset cryptorchidism is an unknown origin, which highlights the significance of early diagnosis in patients who are still alive. Adults with undescended testes are at risk for infertility and hormone abnormalities. The importance of routine checkups and prompt treatment for cryptorchidism is needed. Cryptorchidism is a common anomaly requiring early recognition. Timely intervention reduces long-term risks including infertility and malignancy. Hormonal therapy is generally not recommended due to limited efficacy and potential side effects. | |
