Cryptorchism is a frequent finding in children, but the presence of several cases in the same family has been rarely published. In this paper a series of twelve families with several cases in each one is reported. The histologic study of testicular biopsy in all cases has not been meaningful because of the various lesions observed. After reviewing medical literature the possibility of an ignored hereditary factor is considered.
