Abstract

Testicular torsion in patients with polyorchidism is rare, with less
than 20 cases being reported. Bilobed testis has only been reported
once in the literature to date. We report an interesting case of polyorchidism
with torsion of an ipsilateral bilobed testis. The abnormal
looking bilobed infarcted testis was removed, but the smaller viable
supernumerary testis was biopsied and preserved.
