“…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.…”

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.

“…TTE is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of two testes in the same hemiscrotum or the descent or migration of two testes along the same inguinal canal ( 14 ). TTE is frequently associated with congenital inguinal hernia and less frequently with additional genitourinary anomalies, including hypospadias, seminal vesicle cyst, renal agenesis and persistent Müllerian duct ( 15 ).…”

This paper mainly describes three cases of children with ectopic testis, of which two patients with transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) and one with perineal ectopic testis (PET). All patients who underwent orchidopexy at the same pediatric surgical unit in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University (Jining, China) between June 2010 and February 2021 were retrospectively evaluated (age range, 14-34 months). A total of two patients (67%) was admitted with asymptomatic unilateral inguinal masses and the contralateral testis missing; the first patient was diagnosed with TTE intraoperatively, whereas the other patient was diagnosed with TTE through physical examination and ultrasound preoperatively. The third patient (33%) was admitted with the right testis missing and a left perineal mass, which was confirmed using PET by physical and ultrasound examination before the operation. The first two patients underwent transseptal orchidopexy, whereas the third patient underwent simple orchidopexy. Postoperative complications were not observed (follow-up, 10-24 months). The low incidence and poor understanding of ectopic testis compels us to report our findings and further discuss this particular disease of testicular ectopia, including its pathogenesis, diagnostic and treatment options.
