Abstract
Undescended testes (UDT) are a common birth anomaly. About 80% of UDT are palpable and 20% are non palpable.1 Palpable UDT are located along the inguinoscrotal descent route. The term non –palpable means that the testis was not found during the patient's examination. In that case we deal with an abdominal testis or with lack of testis. Intraabdominal testes are associated with an increased risk of malignancy. We herein present a recent case in our institution of intraabdominal testis which was histopathologically conrmed as Mixed Germ Cell Tumour (GCT) with a combination of seminoma, yolk sac tumor and embryonal carcinoma components with inltration into the peritoneal cavity.
