Primary malignant tumors originating in intraabdominal testes. A report of two cases

The incidence of primary tumor is greater in undescended testes than in scrotum. They are usually detected as large masses. However, there are few reports describing the radiological features of these lesions. We present two cases (a seminoma and a nonseminoma) studied by ultrasound and computed tomography. The ultrasound studies show well defined, slightly echogenic masses. In addition, computed tomography reveals areas of necrosis and calcifications. (Author) 9 refs
