Transverse testicular ectopia with left inguinal hernia, a case report

Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) also named testicular pseudo duplication, unilateral double testis and transverse aberrant testicular maldescent is a rare but well known congenital anomaly in which both testes descend or migrate through a single inguinal canal or hemiscrotum. Often the diagnosis is made during surgical exploration and patients usually present at a very young age around 1–2 years old [1,2] In the literature more than 100 cases of TTE have been reported. We report a 14 year old Syrian refugee male case who was diagnosed with TTE during assessment of suspicious cryptorchidism and left inguinal hernia.
