Rare case of testicular abnormality in a 17-year-old adolescent boy

Abstract

Polyorchism is a rare congenital anomaly defined as the incidence of more than two testicles. This pathology is considered to be extremely rare and may remain asymptomatic for a long time. The disease is detected predominantly during the examination of other urologic pathologies such as inflammation, hydrocele, testicular torsion, inguinal hernia, male infertility, and malignant changes. The reported case of polyorchism was confirmed during surgery for left testicular hydatid torsion in a 17-yearold boy. The abnormal testis had its own tunica vaginalis testis, epididymis, common deferent duct, and shared blood supply with the left testis. The testes were preserved during surgery. No impaired spermatogenesis was detected in the patient.
