We report on a case of polyorchidism that presented as undescended testis. Polyorchidism is defined as the presence of more than two testes. As in our case, most cases occur on the left side. The inferior testis is evidently larger than the accessory testis in all of the cases in the literature and, as far as we know, the present case is the first with the small testis located more distally than the larger one. The accessory testis had no reproductive potential due to a lack of attachment to a cord structure; therefore, it was removed because of the high risk of malignancy.
我们报告一例表现为隐睾的多睾症病例。多睾症定义为睾丸多于两个。如我们的病例所示,大多数病例发生在左侧。在文献报道的所有病例中,低位睾丸明显比副睾大,据我们所知,本病例是首例小睾丸位于比大睾丸更远端的情况。由于副睾未附着于精索结构,因此没有生殖潜能;所以,因其恶变风险高而将其切除。
