| description | Polyorchidism is a rare birth defect of the male genital system characterized by the presence of extra testis on one or both sides. To date, more than a hundred cases have been reported in the literature. The problem is asymptomatic and comes across incidentally. The management of polyorchidism is conservative if there are no associated problems, but some authors suggest surgical treatment in individualized patients. We present a case of testicular duplication in a 6-year-old boy who presented with left-side cryptorchidism, confirmed by ultrasonography (US). We performed orchiopexy for both testes on the ipsilateral side, and the operation ended uneventfully. |
