“…The last example is also known as “crossing testicular ectopia” and may thus resemble the present case. Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare form of testicular ectopia first described by von Lenhorsek in 1886, 3 whereby both testes descend along the same inguinal route and ultimately lie on the same side of the scrotum 4–6 . However, although a unilateral testis and spermatic cord moves across the midline before entering the inguinal canal in transverse testicular ectopia, bilateral testes and spermatic cords move across the midline after leaving the respective inguinal canals and cross each other in the present case, suggesting different underlying mechanisms.…”

Left–right reversal of the testes within the scrotum: An extremely rare variant of testicular ectopia

et al. 2022

Introduction Testicular ectopia refers to abnormal positioning of testis, which includes a wide variety of variants. An ectopic testis is located off the normal path of male gonadal descent, unlike conventional undescended testis. Case presentation A 37‐year‐old man presented with the complaint of a palpable lesion in the scrotum. Magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum revealed bilateral testes on the respective opposite sides of the scrotum with bilateral spermatic cords crossing under the base of the penis. Accordingly, he was diagnosed as “left‐right reversal of the testes within the scrotum.” In retrospect, the “palpable” lesion was thought to be the spermatic cords crossing above the testes. Semen analysis identified deteriorated sperm motility, suggesting possible male infertility. Conclusion This case of left–right reversal of the testes within the scrotum is probably a new variant of testicular ectopia that has never been reported.

“…Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE), also named as testicular pseudo‐duplication or crossed testicular ectopia, is a rare anomaly characterized by both testes descending through a single inguinal canal (Mbouché et al, 2021). TTE can be classified into three types in terms of the existence of various associated anomalies.…”

Transverse testicular ectopia with persistent Mullerian duct syndrome: Report and review of two cases

et al. 2022

Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare anomaly characterized by both testes descending through a single inguinal canal. The objective of this study was to investigate the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) with persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), and to deepen the understanding of the disease in clinical. A retrospective analysis of the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment of two children suffering from TTE with PMDS was conducted. Previous studies on the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease were reviewed. The two patients were treated with laparoscopy‐assisted transseptal orchidopexy‐inguinal evaluation. After the surgery, the two patients recovered well. The follow‐up visits were done 3 months after the operation. An ultrasound examination confirmed that the two patients had testes in the orthotopic position and normal size. TTE with PMDS is an exceedingly rare disease. The patients manifested cryptorchidism on one side; contralateral inguinal hernia was suspected. Detailed physical and ultrasound examinations before the operation are the key to the early diagnosis of TTE. Laparoscopic evaluation is helpful for the diagnosis and finding of other abnormalities. Surgical treatment is the only method to cure the disease; long‐term follow‐up is needed after TTE operation.

Cross or transverse testicular ectopia is a rare congenital condition of the reproductive system that involves the migration of a testicle into the opposite inguinal canal, along with the presence of an inguinal hernia on the same side as the ectopic testicle. In the modern literature, there are discussions about diagnostic issues, particularly the use of ultrasound scanning and magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose this condition. However, it is the results of laparoscopic examination that determine the most accurate criteria for surgical treatment. Many publications discuss the choice of surgical tactics, including separate transabdominal orchiopexy, with or without laparoscopic assistance; transeptal orchiopexy on both sides of the scrotum; and rare cases of orchiopexy for both testicles on one side of the scrotum. Ultimately, the choice of surgery depends on the individual characteristics and needs of the patient, and the surgeon should make the decision based on these factors. The article describes, for the first time, a case of familial testicular ectopia with bilateral inguinal hernia in siblings who underwent surgery using laparoscopic assistance. The method used was single-trocar laparoscopic access with transscrotal transeptal orchiopexy and simultaneous bilateral puncture of the inguinal ring and suture. During the long-term follow-up period (50 and 20 months after surgery) in both siblings, there were no signs of malformation or atrophy of the gonads.
