Unilateral Cryptorchidism in a Newborn with Chronic Inflammation |Biomedgrid

Cryptorchidism is a rare condition often considered to be a pathological sign of and underlying disorder. We report the case of a newborn with no palpable right testicle in the scrotum, who underwent surgical removal of the remnant tissue, after imaging studies. Pathological analysis found unusual characteristics of the sample, requiring further immunohistochemistry analysis that ultimately revealed necrosis and chronic inflammation. Although these findings could no clarify the cause of cryptorchidism, physician must be aware that monitoring the patient could be necessary to provide early adequate health care.
