RESUMEN
Cryptorchidism is a genital alteration wherein one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum and has multifactorial causes. A free-range adult male was captured twice in the Pantanal of Nhecolândia to put a GPS collar and semen collection. Pharmacological semen collection, andrological examination and semen analysis were performed. At the first capture and during the andrological examination only the left testis was found, and the male qualified as cryptorchid. The penis had no penile spines at either procedure. The semen volume obtained at first and second capture was 435 and 160 L, respectively, with a concentration of 618 and 100 x 106 sperm/mL, progressive motility of ~ 5% and ~ 1% and total morphological sperm abnormalities of 74% and 86%. The male was monitored by a GPS collar, but the signal was lost, making it difficult to re-captures and perform new seminal and ultrasound evaluations to discard monorchidism exceedingly rare in felids. Genetic studies to assess the individual's homozygosity are necessary to verify whether cryptorchidism in this individual has a genetic factor.

The pathologies of the reproductive system of cats are common in veterinary medicine and are alwayscomplex and multifactorial, where the primary objective is to determine the cause of the problem, both infemales as in males, with varying degrees of morbidity, mortality and suffering influences reproductive historyfrom previous pharmacological treatments and environmental conditions and can therefore be regionalvariations in the incidence of certain reproductive abnormalities. Cryptorchidism is incomplete testiculardescent, may be retained in any follow this path. The survey was conducted at the Veterinary Hospital (HOVET /UFRA), Belém / Pará, with animals attended by residents of Animal Reproduction Section, feline fromBethlehem. The information on the animals were obtained by consulting the records contained in the files theSISVET (veterinary System) program being evaluated only attended by veterinary medical residents of the Sectorof Small Animal Reproduction Clinic of this hospital.

A clinical classification for undescended testes based on location, size, and mobility of the testis in the inguinal canal was performed. The latter was artificially divided into three sections. The lower portion was considered position I; the mid part, position II; the upper part, position III; and the abdominal (nonpalpable) part, position IV). Normal-size testes were considered as being size A; testes reduced up to 30% in volume, size B; and gonads reduced more than 30% of the estimated normal, size C. According to these criteria, a case of chryptorchidism can then be classified as I, II, III, or IV and A, B, or C and fixed or movable. This classification was used in 1,010 orchidopexies conducted under a uniform surgical technique by the same surgeon and followed annually up to a maximum of 23 years. Retractile testes were excluded from this series. In most cases, the clinical diagnosis matched the surgical findings. Results are presented in two groups, unilateral and bilateral, since the main problem for the latter is fertility, and they should be considered separately in any study. For both groups, the most frequent finding was the normal-sized testis (size A), in location I. For positions II and III, size B was the most common; and in position IV (intraabdominal), size C had a substantially higher incidence. Surgical technique was simpler and the outcome better, as expected, when the testicles were of good size, located in a low position, and operated at an early age. A worthwhile finding was the long-term cosmetic improvement in an important percentage of the surgically descended B-sized testes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
