Case report highlights rare association of laurence-moon-bardet-biedl syndrome with seminoma testis, suggesting potential risks.
Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (LMBBS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder. It is a congenital ciliopathy manifesting with primary and secondary characteristics affecting function of brain, eyes, kidneys, hand and feet. One of the primary features is genital abnormalities in about 75% cases. There are reported crytorchidism, hypogonadism and gynaecomastia features associated. Cyptorchidism is an established risk factor for carcinoma testis. Here we are reporting a rare case of association of LMBBS with seminoma testis in a 45 year old male.
