Transverse Testicular Ectopia, A Case Report And Review of Literature
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Crossed testicular ectopia (CTE)/transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare but well known congenital anomaly, in which both gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum. It is usually associated with other abnormalities such as persistent Mullerian duct syndrome, true hermaphroditism, inguinal hernia, hypospadias, pseudohermaphroditism, and scrotal anomalies. About 100 cases of transverse testicular ectopia have been reported in published studies. We report a case of transverse testicular ectopia in an 18-month-old boy who presented with left inguinal hernia and nonpalpable right testis with right hemiscotum empty and left testis in left hemiscotum. On exploration, right testis was present in the left inguinal canal and left testis present in left hemiscrotum. Trans-septalorchiopexy with left herniotomy was performed by crossing the right testis through the septum with fixation and ipsilateral left testicular scrotal orchiopexy. The diagnosis could not be made preoperatively in most of reported cases.
