“…There was no relevance of computerized tomography, which is however useful for cryptorchidism with an intra-abdominal location of the testis [8]. The gubernacular tail theory provides a simple and valid explanation for the etiology of penile ectopic testis [9,10]. The presence of a gubernaculum attached to the penile fascia of Buck indicates an anomalous growth and termination of its extra-abdominal portion.…”

“…Normal testicular descent occurs sequentially in 2 phases: transabdominal and inguinoscrotal [10]. Gaur et al [11] reported a case of subumblical testis. A key structure in the transabdominal phase is the gubernaculum (genitoinguinal ligament).…”

“…both the testis and the scrotum on the affected side in a case of ectopic testis are usually well developed, and in the case of undescended testis, the ipsilateral scrotum is often poorly developed [4], 2. the ectopic testis does not descend by itself; hence early surgery is advocated [15], 3. at surgery, it is mandatory to follow the spermatic vessels down to their ends [11], and 4. the long spermatic cord makes orchidopexy easy [13,15]. both the testis and the scrotum on the affected side in a case of ectopic testis are usually well developed, and in the case of undescended testis, the ipsilateral scrotum is often poorly developed [4], 2. the ectopic testis does not descend by itself; hence early surgery is advocated [15], 3. at surgery, it is mandatory to follow the spermatic vessels down to their ends [11], and 4. the long spermatic cord makes orchidopexy easy [13,15].…”

An ectopic testis is defined as one that has emerged from the external ring but fails to reach the scrotum. There are, in general, 5 sites of ectopic testis. A rare case of penopubic ectopic testis is reported here. A 6-month-old infant presented with penopubic ectopic testis. An orchidopexy was performed. During the operation, a gubernacular attachment was not found on the testis. Although Lockwood's 5 tails of gubernaculum form a commonly quoted mechanism of ectopic testis, our case could not fit in this mechanism since the gubernaculum was absent. A break in the gubernaculum during testicular descent, as suggested by Sonneland, leaving the testis radar-less after its exit from the superficial ring, may be an explanation for ectopic location in our case.

“…Other reported ectopies include testes cranial and lateral to the inner inguinal ring, within the outer or inner oblique muscles [184,185], subumbilical [186], retroumbilical [187], paracolic [188], in the anterior abdominal wall [189], and even in an extracorporeal location associated with scrotoschisis [190].…”

“…oblique muscles [184,185], subumbilical [186], retroumbilical [187], paracolic [188], in the anterior abdominal wall [189], and even in an extracorporeal location associated with scrotoschisis [190]. Ectopic testes, except those superficial inguinal, reveal histologic lesions similar to those of cryptorchid testes, including fewer germ cells, low testicular volume, persistence of processus vaginalis, and epididymal anomalies.…”
