Three testicles in one hemiscrotum: an unusual presentation of polyorchidism.

Justin D Ellett1, James S Rosoff2, Michaella M Prasad1.   

Abstract

Polyorchidism, or more than one testicle in a hemiscrotum, is a relatively rare phenomenon. It is often associated with several other conditions, including inguinal hernia, testicular maldescent, testicular torsion, hydrocele or hypospadias. In this report, we describe a patient who presented with three testicles in one hemiscrotum, which is a highly unusual presentation for an already uncommon condition. We also review the relevant literature as it relates to the need for surveillance due to the increased risk for malignancy. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
