Polyorchidism: sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.5489/cuaj.704Abstract
Polyorchidism is a rare anomaly and frequently associated withcriptorchidism, inguinal hernia and testicular torsion. It is also
reported as increased risk of testicular malignancy. We report a
case of 23 year old man with left supernumerary testis in the left
hemiscrotum. He presented with painless mass in his left hemiscrotum.
Normal physical examination and laboratory tests including
spermiogram were examined. Both ultrasound and MRI examinations
revealed polyorchidism without malignancy or any other
concomitant features. In most cases sonography alone is diagnostic.
MRI may provide additional information in complicated cases of
polyorchidism. Conservative treatment with sonographic follow-up
is the choice of treatment in uncomplicated cases.
