Triorchidism is the most common type of polyorchidism. In general, polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly that has been reported in around two hundred cases to date. We report a case series on 5- and 12-year-old boys that visited our hospital for undescended testis, and during intervention, triorchidism was found incidentally. This case series offers brief discussion on polyorchidism and its management principles ascribed in different literatures.

“…Biopsy was not done in our case as the size of the testis was very small. Testicular biopsy is rarely indicated in pediatric population [7]. Follow up of these patients is advised once a month for first 3 months, then every 6 months for the next 2 years and later every 2 years up to adolescence by palpating the testis and ultrasonography.…”

Introduction:Poly-orchidism is a rare congenital anomaly with less than 100 cases reported in the world literature. As many theories have an etiology regarding poly-orchidism but still exact etiology is not clear. But majority patient presents with painless scrotal/groin swelling. In rare presentation it may present with an indirect hernia, varicocele, hydrocele, epididymitis, mal-descended testis. The majority have tri-orchidism and the supernumerary testis is most frequently found on the left side.Aims: This is a study of rare case report of tri-orchidism of 3 yr. male child present with absent left side testis.On exploration found that two testes were with the vas having distally 2 limbs draining both testis in the 'Y' fashion. Result:In case of this tri-orchidism ideally plan of management is various. If investigation vise testis found atrophied or non-functional then plan of management should be orchidectomy. In this case as clinically both the testis appeared normal both the testis was placed in the left scrotum and orchidopexy was done Conclusion: Poly-orchidism may be a rare genitourinary abnormality and its management is still controversial.The management will depend upon the location, size and anatomical organization of the testicular drainage system and the age of the patient.

Polyorchidism; unilateral, one atrophic undescended double testicles

Polyorchidism is a very rare genitourinary anomaly defined with the presence of more than two testicles. Polyorchidism is associated up to 40% with undescended testicles. The present report is about an incidentally detected triorchidism case with unilateral, one atrophic undescended double testicles. A 4-year-old child, diagnosed with undescended left testicle revealed during orchiopexy polyorchidism with distinct epididymis and vas deferens. Whereas one of the testicles was in regular size; the other two were atrophic. Orchiectomy was conducted on the atrophic testicle and orchiopexy to the regular size testicle. The atrophic testicle excised was referred histopathological analysis and was diagnosed as atrophic testis. The patient discharged on the first postoperative day, was considered as normal during postoperative evaluation made on the third postoperative day. Polyorchidism is a rare genitourinary abnormality, and its management is still controversial. Yet, we believe that orchiectomy is to be conducted in atrophic testicle cases.
