<prompt> All of the following are true about cryptorchidism, except:Cryptorchidism is a risk factor for testicular tumorSeminoma is the most common tumorContalateral testis is also at riskOrchidopexy reduces the risk of malignancy  <response>: Orchidopexy reduces the risk of malignancy Of the predisposing factors, cryptorchidism has the strongest association with testicular Ca. Increased risk is seen for both the testis i.e. the cryptorchid testes as well as the normally descended testes Abdominal cryptorchid testes are at a higher risk than inguinal cryptorchid testes. Seminotna is the most common type of testicular cancer seen in a cryptorchid testes Remember this :Placement of the cryptorchid testis into the scrotum orchipexy does not alter its malignant potential, however it facilitates examination and tumor detection Note that Harrison 16e, p 550 contradicts the above statement but we should follow what Campbell Smith say
