Testicular cancer represents the most common malignancy in males aged 15-34 years [1]. In this abstract we present 65 years old men, who present in our clinic with symptoms of inability to void, and a history of swelling in the left scrotum with duration of three years. From CT scan which was done we found abdominal funiculocele and all testical was involved with big 10/10 cm, mass. The patient was operated by open approach, it was done funiculorchiectomy. The pathological result was pure seminoma stage I. The follow-up imaging studies performed on 3 months after surgery, and physical examination confirmed no recurrence and the patient is undergoing regular observation and check-ups.
