Sumario:Early diagnosis of undescended testis (UDT) in patients under 2 years old plays a vital role in therapy success. However, in developing countries, UDT is often diagnosed in over 2 years. This case report described unilateral UDT in a patient aged 19 years accompanied by testicular torsion, which was found intraoperatively and not vital. Thus, the operator decided to do an orchiectomy. The operation was successful, and the patient was discharged the day after the surgery.
