Abstract
Bilobed testicle is an extremely rare testicular malformation in children. It may be presumed that this condition could be an incomplete expression of polyorchidism; however, the etiology of both entities remains unknown. In this report, a 3-year-old boy presented with a right bilobed testicle mimicking a testicular tumour. Since there are insufficient data in the pediatric literature presenting the ideal management of bilobed testicles, we believe it is important to report this case to provide more information about this condition. Although rare, bilobed testis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a testicular mass. Surgical treatment is not mandatory, and conservative follow-up may play a role.Entities:
