Sumario:Cryptorchidism is a known predisposing factor for the development of testicular tumors in adults. Age of patient at the time of treatment of undescended testes has some bearing on the risk of neoplasia.

We report a case where embryonal carcinoma was detected in a cryptorchid testis of an infant.
