چکیده
Neoplasia UDT is associated with an increased risk of germ cell tumour of the testis. It has been suggested that males with UDT have a 40 times increase in the rate of neoplasia above the general population.1 Although this number is debatable, these data need to be interpreted with caution because testicular malignancy is very rare in Africa.2 The role of orchiopexy in reducing malignancy is controversial, but it makes self-examination easier.
