“… 3 On the contrary, other studies recommend that a pelvic MRI should be mandatory after SU. 2 9 In our case, MRI was helpful for confirmation of the anatomy. Hormone determination of β-hCG, AFP and LDH could be requested in case of doubt of testicular cancer.…”

“…Regarding to associated pathologies, inguinal hernia (24%–30%), cryptorchidism (15%–40%), testicular torsion (13%–15%), hydrocele (9%), pain (7%), hypospadias, persistence of Müller ducts (7%–9%), chromosome alterations (3%), testicular cancer (6%) and varicocele (1%–1.4%) are possible. 1 2 3 7 9 Among all of these, testicular cancer is the most remarkable, which occurs more frequently in cryptorchidism. 3 Another situation found in these patients is infertility that can lead to the diagnosis in some cases.…”

“…Some papers report that MRI is not required in the absence of suspicion such as intra-abdominal polyorchidism or malignancy. 8,9 In the meta-analysis of Bergholz, USG was the most common radiological modality and only a few of polyorchidism lesions underwent MRI. In those lesions, MRI did not give any additional information to USG.…”

is a very rare anomaly that is defined by the presence of more than two testes. Knowledge about the condition and accurate imaging diagnosis and characterization is important to decide the optimal line of management and avoid unnecessary surgery. A 14-year-old male reported for Scrotal Color Doppler Ultrasound with complaint of a painless mass in the left scrotum with no history of trauma. On physical examination, there were two palpable, ovoid, mobile, non-tender masses in the left hemiscrotum. Scrotal Color Doppler Ultrasonography (USG) revealed a well circumscribed supernumerary testicle in the left scrotum adjacent to superior pole of left testis with parenchymal echogenicity and doppler vascularity like that of normal testis parenchyma. In conclusion, diagnosis was polyorchidism with duplication of the left testicle. The patient was advised follow-up after one-year. USG is the modality of choice to assist in the diagnosis.

“…However, because polyorchidism is frequently associated with other risk factors, such as cryptorchidism, and because of the limited number of cases, the true risk of malignancy is difficult to establish (Spranger et al, 2002). Reproductive potential is best estimated by imaging and documenting the presence or absence of epididymis and vas deferens (Repetto et al, 2010). Usually, supernumerary testicles present within the scrotum.…”

Supernumerary testis or polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly with about 200 reported cases in the literature. It may be associated with cryptorchidism, testicular torsion and neoplasms. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are effective noninvasive methods of accurately detecting polyorchidism. In most cases, ultrasonography is diagnostic and magnetic resonance imaging plays confirmatory role by providing additional information if complicated with neoplasia. We report a case of 16-year-old man with right supernumerary testis associated with adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis, its sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings and management.
