Undescended testicles (UTs) and torsion of the testicle are a rare clinical combination. Symptoms may be misleading and interpreted as signs of other common conditions. Moreover, late identification of an UT may significantly delay the diagnosis and lead to adverse outcomes. Here, we present a case of a 17-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and learning disabilities who presented with painful right-sided inguinal mass. Intraoperatively, he was confirmed to have torsion of an UT and orchidectomy was performed. This article also emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of testicular ectopia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
