Undescended testis incidence is 30% in pre-term and 3% in full-term infants and it is associated with an increased risk of infertility and malignancy. Testicular neoplasm has different types; the most common type is yolk sac tumor. Ovarian cysts are quite common in childhood and adolescence age groups. Lastly, we will discuss ambiguous genitalia, which should address as a medical emergency condition during evaluation.
