Abstract
Cryptorchidism is most frequently reported in horses, swine, and man. Neoplasia has been documented in the descended testes of unilateral cryptorchid testes in children. It has been reported that 10% of the testicular tumors in humans were associated with cryptorchidism. Most of the reported information did not specify the difference between inguinal and abdominal cryptorchid testes. Recently histological and ultrastructural morphological differences have been reported. The spermatoginia of many cryptorchid males bear a congenital lesion. It has been recommended that screening children for early detection of cancer, with undescended testis will reduce cancer. The purpose of this investigation is to characterize the ultrastructural changes of inguinal cryptorchid testes of children at different ages, treated at Princess Basmah teaching Hospital at Irbid, Jordan. It is anticipated that this study will provide information for timing decision for surgical correction. Children with cryptorchid testis between one and thirteen years old were presented to Princess Basmah teaching hospital.
