| Popis: | Polyorchidism is an extremely rare congenital anomaly, defined as the presence of one or more extra testicles. About 200 cases have been reported in the medical literature. Triorchidism is the commonest one among all supernumerary testes. We present a rare case of incidentally detected polyorchidism during orchidopexy for ipsilateral undescended testis in a 7-year-old boy. The surgeon should be aware of this condition during groin exploration. The reproductive potential, location of the supernumerary testes, the coexistence of other disorders, and suspicion of the malignancy should be taken into account when choosing conservative management or surgery. |
