Abstract

Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly of the genital tract in which more than two testes are present, usually within the scrotum. Less than 100 cases of polyorchidism have been reported in medical literature till date. The most common form is the presence of three testis referred as triorchidism or tritestis. There are characteristic sonographic features of polyorchidism, and the diagnosis is often made on the basis of ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging can be used for confirmation. We present a case of polyorchidism in a 13 yrs old adolescent.
