A small subset of males presenting with cryptorchidism are found to have ectopic testes. The most common location for an ectopic testicle is the superficial inguinal pouch, but there are several other possibilities, necessitating a thorough physical exam. A 4-month-old term male presented for evaluation of a nonpalpable right testicle. Examination revealed an ectopic right testicle located in the perineum. The patient underwent successful right orchiopexy. Ectopic testes are rare but remain in the differential diagnoses for patients with cryptorchidism. Patients should undergo prompt orchiopexy to avoid potential complications and allow maximal preservation of testicular function.
一小部分患有隐睾症的男性被发现有异位睾丸。异位睾丸最常见的位置是腹股沟浅袋，但还有其他几种可能，因此需要进行全面的体格检查。一名4个月大的足月儿男性因右侧睾丸不可触及前来评估。检查发现右侧异位睾丸位于会阴。该患者成功接受了右侧睾丸固定术。异位睾丸很少见，但仍是隐睾症患者的鉴别诊断之一。患者应及时接受睾丸固定术，以避免潜在并发症并最大程度地保留睾丸功能。
