Background: Testicular seminoma is the most common malignant tumor of the testis. It occurs at a rate of 5 per 100 000 men, primarily between the ages of 15 to 34. While seminomas typically occur in the testis, other primary sites include the mediastinum, the retroperitoneum, or other extra-gonadal sites.

Deep or aggressive angiomyxoma is an uncommon neoplasm of the pelvis. Although deep angiomyxoma is a benign tumor, its tendency to infiltrate soft tissues and reach a large size (typically > 10 cm) indicates aggressive biological behavior. It is usually present in female patients, but there have been recent reports of male-aggressive angiomyxoma.

Testicular cancer is one of the leading malignancies affecting young men, with germ cell tumors (GCTs) being the most prevalent type. These tumors are classified into two main subtypes: seminomas and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs), with the latter known for their higher likelihood of metastasis. Early detection through imaging and tumor markers like alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is crucial for favorable outcomes.

Seminoma is a malignant germ cell tumor that primarily develops in the testis but can occur in other extragonadal areas, most commonly the mediastinum and retroperitoneum. While generally offering a favorable prognosis, seminomas can sometimes clinically present with misleading characteristics resulting in delayed diagnosis. In this article, we report the case of a 31-year-old male diagnosed with grade IIIC intermediate risk testicular seminoma cTxN3M1bSx, who presented initially with a palpable cervical mass.

Introduction And Importance: Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital anomaly in which both testes descend into the same inguinal canal and are located in the same hemiscrotum. Diagnosing TTE can be challenging due to its rarity and unusual presentation.

Case Presentation: The authors present a case of a male in his 50s who was diagnosed with left transverse testicular ectopia after presenting with an empty right hemiscrotum and two testes-like masses in the left hemiscrotum.
