Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of more than two testes. It is commonly discovered incidentally during surgical exploration. We report a case of a 7-year-old male with Polyorchidism diagnosed during elective surgery for undescended left testis. An intra-scrotal supernumerary testis was found with a cryptorchidic testis located at the inguinal canal. We opted for Orchidectomy of the intrascrotal atrophic testis, and orchidopexy of the healthy testis. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Postoperative recovery and follow-up were uneventful. This case highlights the importance of polyorchidism management based on anatomical and functional findings intraoperatively.
多睾症是一种罕见的先天性异常，其特征是存在两个以上的睾丸。它通常在手术探查时偶然发现。我们报告一例7岁男性，在择期手术治疗左侧隐睾时被诊断为多睾症。在阴囊内发现一个额外的睾丸，同时在腹股沟管处有一个隐睾。我们选择切除阴囊内萎缩的睾丸，并对健康的睾丸进行睾丸固定术。组织病理学证实了诊断。术后恢复和随访情况良好。该病例强调了基于术中解剖和功能发现进行多睾症管理的重要性。
