We performed retrospective surveys on 131 boys with cryptorchidism and 33 with hypospadias to determine what other congenital anomalies were present. Other congenital anomalies were apparant in 46 cases (35.1%) with cryptorchidism and 17 (51.5%) with hypospadias. Urogenital anomalies were apparent in 18 cases (13.7%) with cryptorchidism and 15 (45.5%) with hypospadias. Associated urogenital anomalies in cryptorchidism were hydrocele testis or of cord (5.3%), hypospadias (4.6%), and so on. That in hypospadias were undescending testis (21.2%), migratory testis (12.1%), and so on. Anomalies except for urogenital systems were apparent in 38 cases (29.0%) with cryptorchidism and 10 cases (30.3%) with hypospadias. Associated anomalies except for urogenital systems in cryptorchidism were inguinal hernia (11.5%), congenital cardiac anomalies (5.3%), and so on. That in hypospadias were inguinal hernia (9.1%), congenital cardiac anomalies (9.1%), and so on.
Nine patients with cryptorchidism were diagnosed in Multi-Congenital Anomaly Syndrome. The patients with multi-congenital anomalies associated with cryptorchidism had frequently both growth retardation and mental retardation. Among 61 patients with cryptorchidism and 20 patients with hypospadias, chromosome aberration was demonstrated in 3 cases (4.9%) with cryptorchidism and in 2 cases (10.0%) with hypospadias.
