Abstract
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), particularly seminomas, are the most common malignancies in young males and are strongly linked to cryptorchidism. This case report describes a 44-year-old patient with metastatic seminoma originating from an undescended intra-abdominal testis. The diagnosis was confirmed through imaging, tumor marker analysis, and histopathology. Treatment involved orchidectomy followed by BEP chemotherapy, leading to complete remission with no recurrence at 18-month follow-up. This case highlights the importance of early detection and a multidisciplinary approach for optimal management of testicular seminomas.
