“…Supernumerary testis diagnosis is usually performed in late puberty, incidentally, with a painless scrotal mass or at the emergency room, presenting a testicular torsion torsion of the whole hemiscrotum or the supernumerary testis alone, 1,2 and the differential diagnosis should be made with epididymal cyst and spermatocele, besides other extra-testicular masses (hydroceles, varicoceles, lipomas, tumors) and para-testicular masses (hernias, scrotal calculi). 5 After the initial clinical evaluation, ultrasound is the first line subsidiary exam identifying a scrotal mass with features identical to normal testis which can be attached or separated to the ipsilateral gonad, located inferiorly or superiorly; 5 contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) could be used to help exclude the presence of neoplasia. 6 In the Doppler ultrasound, the supernumerary testis demonstrate similar echo texture and vascular flow as a normal tests.…”

“…6 In the Doppler ultrasound, the supernumerary testis demonstrate similar echo texture and vascular flow as a normal tests. 5 The MRI is very helpful in case the ultrasound diagnosis is uncertain. 5 The supernumerary testis have the same Magnetic Resonance Imaging characteristics as the normal testes (intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images).…”

“…El sitio más frecuente de poliorquidia es el lado izquierdo, reportado en 65-75% de los casos. 5,8 En cuanto al número de testículos respecta, casi siempre se desarrollan tres (dos de ellos en un solo lado), [1][2][3][4][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] pocas veces 4 (4.3%) [19][20][21][22] y excepcionalmente 5 testículos, 2 incluso se han reportado pacientes sin testículo contralateral. 23,24 Los testículos supernumerarios pueden aparecer de diversas maneras en relación con la presencia o ausencia del epidídimo y conducto deferente, suelen carecer totalmente de estas estructuras, las comparten con el testículo ipsilateral o tienen su propio sistema excretor.…”

“…25 En reportes iniciales, para establecer el diagnóstico se consideraba sólo el estudio histológico del tejido testicular, ya sea en biopsia incisional o excisional; actualmente se establece sin necesidad de intervención quirúrgica, mediante ultrasonido Doppler, que evidencia el flujo en la estructura sugerente de testículo supernumerario, parénquima testicular y epidídimo, incluso es útil para descartar alguna tumoración en el mismo sitio. En algunos casos se ha realizado resonancia magnética, que brinda mayor información de la alteración, donde el testículo supernumerario tiene las mismas características que uno normal en fases T1 y T2; 16 además de identificar la coexistencia de vesículas seminales. En pacientes con sospecha de torsión testicular, también es útil realizar gamagrama.…”
