摘要
Testicular cancer is common but curable when diagnosed early. Testicular cancer is often characterized by a painless unilateral testicular mass discovered incidentally. In rare cases, testicular cancer is manifested as testicular atrophy. This case study concerns a 44-year-old patient diagnosed with right testicular seminoma complicated by infertility with bilateral testicular atrophy. In countries where sperm cryopreservation is not feasible for everyone, early detection of testicular atrophy by transscrotal ultrasound could prove effective for rapid intervention to preserve patient fertility in those with asymptomatic intratesticular cancer.
