Triorchidism in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report and a Literature Review

Abstract

Testicular duplication, supernumerary testis or most commonly known as polyorchidism constitutes an especially rare congenital anomaly of the genitourinary tract. We report a 10-year-old male patient presented to our clinic with a visible as well as palpable left scrotal mass. With the view to determining whether the surgical excision of the additional testis or its monitoring by imaging is more preferable, we took many factors into consideration, including patient's comorbidities, testicular biopsy's outcome as well as the classification of the extra testes. The diagnosis of the additional testis was confirmed by histopathology and underline the need to maintain a high index of suspicion.
