Polyorchidism is a congenital malformation of the urogenital system that is usually found incidentally in adolescent age groups. Ultrasound and MRI are effective noninvasive diagnostic modalities which can differentiate this condition from other intrascrotal pathologies. Ultrasonography is mostly used in initial steps of diagnostic approach; however, MRI is considered as a modality to confirm diagnosis and evaluate possible malignancy. We report an extremely rare case of pentaorchidism (five testicles), presented with a left hemiscrotum mass. Diagnosis was made based on physical examination, laboratory analysis (testicular germ cell tumour markers and semen analysis) and imaging. Finally, close surveillance with ultrasound and physical examination was recommended for follow-up of this uncomplicated patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
