Malignancy Yield of Testis Pathology in Older Boys and Adolescents with Cryptorchidism.

Among males with cryptorchidism ages 10 years and older without differences of sexual development, 2/16 patients with intra-abdominal testis and 0/55 patients with extra-abdominal testis demonstrated malignancy. In older boys and adolescents, orchiectomy or biopsy is indicated for intra-abdominal testes but may not be necessary for extra-abdominal undescended testes.
