Bilobed testicle is an extremely rare testicular malformation in children. It may be presumed that this condition could be an incomplete expression of polyorchidism; however, the etiology of both entities remains unknown. In this report, a 3-year-old boy presented with a right bilobed testicle mimicking a testicular tumour. Since there are insufficient data in the pediatric literature presenting the ideal management of bilobed testicles, we believe it is important to report this case to provide more information about this condition. Although rare, bilobed testis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a testicular mass. Surgical treatment is not mandatory, and conservative follow-up may play a role.
分叶状睾丸是儿童中极为罕见的睾丸畸形。可以推测，这种情况可能是多睾症的不完全表现；然而，这两种情况的病因仍然不明。在本报告中，一名3岁男孩出现右侧分叶状睾丸，类似睾丸肿瘤。由于儿科文献中关于分叶状睾丸理想治疗方法的数据不足，我们认为报告此病例以提供更多关于这种情况的信息很重要。尽管罕见，但在睾丸肿块的鉴别诊断中应考虑分叶状睾丸。手术治疗并非必需，保守随访可能会起到作用。
