Abstract

The authors present an incidental finding of intraabdominal testicle during laparoscopic operation for another diagnosis in an adult man. The surprising finding was managed by laparoscopy without conversion to an open procedure, adhering to rules of oncologic prevention because possible testicular cancer. Had an open approach been chosen in this patient, the intraabdominal testicle would have remained undetected.
