“…To our knowledge, Akin M et al and Yıldız A et al have reported the two largest case-series of TTE so far, each one with six patients [1, 15]. Most cases of TTE described in the literature are diagnosed before the age of 18 and management is targeted to protect fertility and reconstruct a normal anatomy by transferring the testis and repairing any associated anomalies such as inguinal hernias.…”

Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) with fused vas deferens is an extremely rare clinical entity. Herein, we present a case of a 19-year-old patient with persistent left testicular pain lasting for a week. Clinical examination revealed an empty right hemiscrotum, a normal left-sided descended testis, and in close proximity a mass-like structure resembling testicular parenchyma. Laboratory tests were significant for elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), while sperm count revealed azoospermia. Ultrasound imaging (US) of the scrotum demonstrated the presence of both testes in the same left hemiscrotum with varicocele and no signs of inguinal hernia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the penis and scrotum revealed TTE with a single, fused vas deferens, and hypoplastic seminal vesicles. Surgical intervention by means of microsurgical sperm retrieval and transseptal orchidopexy were considered but not performed, primarily owing to the patient's unwillingness and to a lesser extent due to the restriction that the short and fused vas would pose in an attempt to transpose the ectopic testis. Therefore, an annual follow-up was recommended.

“…[11] Yıldız et al in their study have reported a six-case series with TTE, which is the largest series showing this rare pathology up to our knowledge. [12] CONCLUSION The six-cases reported in this series had unusual clinical histories for crossed testicular ectopia, such as bilateral undescended testes with palpable or nonpalpable testes, inguinal swelling instead of hernia and unsatisfactory impalpable testes treatment. However, the same surgical technique was performed on all cases, and impalpable testes were found in the hernia sacs of all patients.…”

“…MRI could allow or confirm the diagnosis of transverse testicular ectopia and eventually show any other associated variants or abnormalities [ 42 , 43 ]. In a case report of an accessory scrotum, Ziegelmann et al found that MRI was capable to define the complex relationships between the accessory scrotum and ano-sphincteric complex, as well as identify associated peritoneal lipoma [ 44 ].…”

Imaging of the scrotum: beyond sonography

The aim of this article is to describe the role of second-level imaging techniques after an initial ultrasonography evaluation in the assessment of scrotal diseases. While ultrasonography remains central as the primary imaging modality for the evaluation of pathologic conditions of the scrotum, the role of magnetic resonance imaging continues to evolve: it can actually be valuable as a problem-solving tool when sonographic findings are equivocal or inconclusive. Magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum may provide accurate detection and characterization of scrotal diseases, well depicting the precise location of scrotal masses (intratesticular or extratesticular) and reliably characterizing benign conditions simulating neoplastic processes, thus preventing unnecessary radical surgery. Advanced magnetic resonance techniques, most of all diffusion weighted imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, play in the meanwhile a more significant role in evaluating scrotal diseases.Teaching points • Multiparametric ultrasonography usually represents the initial imaging modality for approaching scrotal diseases. • MRI is well established as a problem-solving tool for inconclusive sonographic findings. • Advanced MRI techniques can be successfully applied in scrotal pathology assessment. • MRI is valuable in differentiating benign conditions from neoplastic processes. • CT plays a role in trauma assessment and cancer staging alongside PET/CT.
