RIGHT TRANSVERSE TESTICULAR ECTOPIA: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare anomaly in which both testis lie in one hemiscrotum. We report a case of an 18-month
old boy with the right transverse testicular ectopia that presented to our outpatient clinic with left indirect inguinal hernia and
a right non-palpable testis. The patient was operated on left herniotomy, and orchidopexy of both testes was made to the respective hemiscrotum after mobilization of the spermatic cord. Transverse testicular ectopia was almost always diagnosed intraoperatively. We also describe its embryology, the investigation to detect it early, the surgical management, and the review of
previously reported cases.
