“…In pubopenile ectopia, the testis may be at the root or shaft of the penis, or overlying the pubic bone [ 1 , 5 ]. The left testis in this case was on the pubic bone more to the right side.…”

“…Pubopenile ectopic testis may be due to a mechanical obstruction at the level of the scrotum leading to deviation of the testis towards a zone of less resistance [ 1 , 5 ].Other causes may include genitofemoral nerve defects, epididymal factors, decreased intra-abdominal pressure, asymmetric growth of the cord structures compared with the inguinal canal and hormonal abnormalities [ 2 ].…”

Testicular ectopia is an aberrant deviation of the migration of the testis from its usual path of descent into the scrotum. Of the forms of ectopic testis, the penopubic (also called pubopenile) type is one of the least common; in this case, presented as an obstructed hernia. We report a rare case of penopubic testicular ectopia with bilateral cryptorchidism in a 17-year-old boy who presented to the emergency room with right obstructed inguinal hernia. Intraoperative findings included bilateral cryptorchidism, hernia sac with right undescended testis and normal vermiform appendix, a left penopubic testis abutting the hernia sac. Both testes had separate epididymides and adequate length of vasa deferentia and were transposed into their respective hemiscrotum via an open inguinal approach. The patient had an uneventful recovery. Penopubic testicular ectopia can present as obstructed Amyand’s hernia. Early open groin exploration with orchidopexy was satisfactory.
