| Abstrakt: | Vanishing testis syndrome or Testicular regression syndrome (TRS) is defined as the absence or an incomplete development of the testis of varying degrees in 46XY patients with normal external genitalia.TRS or vanishing testis syndrome may be seen in less than 5% of all patients of cryptorchidism. We report two cases of TRS who underwent surgical exploration with an initial diagnosis of cryptorchidism with impalpable testis. Grossly testicular tissue was not identified and the vas deferens was ending into a nubbin in both the cases. The presumed testicular remnants were sent for histological examination. The histological sections in both the cases showed vascularised fibrous nodule, structure of the spermatic cord and calcification, supporting the diagnosis of TRS. |
