An uncommon congenital abnormality known as crossed testicular ectopia (CTE) or transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) occurs when both testes migrate into the same hemiscrotum. Inguinal hernia and persistent Müllerian duct syndrome are frequently associated with it. We present a case of "TTE" in a 1-year-old boy with an empty right hemiscrotum and left inguinal hernia. TTE, first described by Von Lenhossek, can be diagnosed via ultrasound, with over 100 cases reported. Theories of its origin include developmental anomalies of the genital ridge and Wolffian duct fusion. Accurate diagnosis is crucial due to increased malignancy risks and complications in management.
一种罕见的先天性异常,称为交叉睾丸异位(CTE)或横向睾丸异位(TTE),发生在两个睾丸都迁移到同一侧阴囊时。腹股沟疝和持续性苗勒管综合征常与之相关。我们报告一例1岁男孩的“TTE”病例,其右侧阴囊空虚,左侧腹股沟疝。TTE由冯·伦霍塞克首次描述,可通过超声诊断,已有100多例报告。其起源理论包括生殖嵴和中肾管融合的发育异常。由于恶性肿瘤风险增加和管理并发症,准确诊断至关重要。
