Abstract

To report the finding of a rare testicular anomaly. We performed physical examination, blood tests, surgical exploration, and testicular biopsy. Patient had penile phymosis. Left scrotum had a normal testicle inside. Right scrotum was empty and hypoplastic. There was and ovoid formation near the root of the penis, similar to a testicle. Blood tests were normal. Orchydopexy was carried out following the technique by Bevan. Testicular biopsy was normal. Ectopic testicles usually keep the power of fertilization so that their treatment should not be as premature as in the case of cryptorchidism.
