This case of ectopic testis highlights the importance of a thorough first newborn examination followed by senior review when appropriate, and the expertise required to interpret neonatal ultrasounds. Following a provisional diagnosis of unilateral undescended testicle in a newborn, an ultrasound scan was unable to correctly identify the condition, resulting in a delay in diagnosis. The condition was later recognised incidentally, which led to a successful surgical correction. The early clinical examination and recognition of ectopic testis allows a timely surgical intervention preventing potential complications.
该例隐睾病例凸显了新生儿首次全面检查并在适当情况下由资深医生复查的重要性，以及解读新生儿超声检查所需的专业知识。在一名新生儿被初步诊断为单侧隐睾后，超声扫描未能正确识别该病症，导致诊断延误。该病症后来偶然被发现，随后成功进行了手术矫正。早期临床检查和对隐睾的识别能够及时进行手术干预，预防潜在并发症。
