Polyorchidism: evaluation by MR

Conservative management of polyorchidism in a young man: a case report and review of literature

“…Indeed some patients have been followed up solely with sonography [18]. However, MRI is the most reliable and sensitive diagnostic imaging technique in the classification of intra-scrotal pathology [19]. Indeed it has been shown to be superior to sonography in the detection of both malignant and non-tumorous testicular lesions [20][21].…”

Polyorchidism: An Exceptional Case of Three Homolateral Testes

“…The majority of them presented with two homolateral testicles, but there were 3 patients with two testicles on each side [2,3,16]. Polyorchidism is most common on the left side [1,4], Supernumerary testicles vary in size with respect to the ipsilateral testicle [5][6][7], and can be located in the scrotum, inguinal region or in the abdomen [8].…”

“…Ultrasound and nuclear magnetic examination can be helpful when polyorchidism is suspected [10,12,16], but the exact diagnosis should be established histologically [6], We believe that biopsy of the duplicated testicles is indicated, but histological examination of the ipsilateral testicle is not necessary, particularly if it happens to be small such as in our patient.…”

A rare presentation: duplication of testis

“…4 Bilateral supernumerary testis have also been reported. 9,13,14 The most common location is within the scrotum, superior or inferior to the ipsilateral testicle. 6 However the extra testicle may either be completely separated from a maldescended testicle or it may be maldescended itself with two testicles present in the scrotum.…”
