Polyorchidism, or supernumerary testis, is a rare congenital abnormality of the genitourinary system. In this paper, we present the case of triorchidism in a seven-year-old asymptomatic child with a suspect left scrotal mass detected on routine physical examination. Imaging studies revealed a third testicle in the left hemiscrotum, with comparable dimensions, signal intensity on MRI, and Doppler flow on ultrasound with the ipsilateral testis. We also discuss the clinical presentations, classifications, and current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies of this condition.
多睾症，即额外睾丸，是一种罕见的泌尿生殖系统先天性异常。在本文中，我们报告了一例7岁无症状儿童的三睾症病例，该患儿在常规体格检查中发现左侧阴囊有可疑肿块。影像学检查显示左半阴囊内有第三个睾丸，其大小、MRI信号强度以及超声检查时与同侧睾丸的多普勒血流情况均相似。我们还讨论了该疾病的临床表现、分类以及当前的诊断和治疗策略。
