SUMMARY1 Two cases of intra‐abdominal seminomata arising from undescended testis are reported:Case 1. ‐A left ectopic testicular tumour presenting as a right‐sided abdominal tumour simulating an appendix abscess. Case 2. ‐A right ectopic testicular tumour, presenting with pain in the right iliac fossa.2 The importance of pre‐operative diagnosis of intra‐abdominal cryptorchid seminoma is stressed because early removal of the tumour followed by radiotherapy has a good prognosis.
