Hi,

Thanks for your question.

The concern would be that your cousin does have testicles but they are not in his scrotum but elsewhere in his abdomen or inguinal canals. They should be found by a CT examination for a two main reasons. If they are in an abnormal location then your cousin could be sterile as an adult. Testes in the abdomen have a higher risk of cancer occurring in them.

I hope this answers your question.

Best wishes
