Double left sided cryptorchidism in a 3-year-old male: A case report of polyorchidism

Polyorchidism is a rare congenital urogenital abnormality with a limited number of reports in the literature. The principal consideration in the management of polyorchidism is the prevention of future risk of malignancy. We present a case of a 3-year-old male presenting with left-sided cryptorchidism found to have a left-sided supernumerary testicle. He was treated with orchiectomy of both testes. While rare, the possibility of supernumerary testicle should be considered during surgery for cryptorchidism. Non-scrotal supernumerary testes should generally be excised to reduce the risk of malignancy.

Abstract

Polyorchidism is a rare congenital urogenital abnormality with a limited number of reports in the literature. The principal consideration in the management of polyorchidism is the prevention of future risk of malignancy. We present a case of a 3-year-old male presenting with left-sided cryptorchidism found to have a left-sided supernumerary testicle. He was treated with orchiectomy of both testes. While rare, the possibility of supernumerary testicle should be considered during surgery for cryptorchidism. Non-scrotal supernumerary testes should generally be excised to reduce the risk of malignancy.
