Transverse testicular ectopia presenting as an inguinal hernia in a 2-year-old child: Case report

This case highlights TTE as a critical differential diagnosis for pediatric inguinal hernias associated with undescended testes, particularly in LMICs. Surgeons must prioritize intraoperative exploration when imaging is inaccessible to ensure timely management. Awareness of this rare anomaly and tailored surgical strategies are essential to optimize outcomes in resource-limited contexts.

Abstract

This case highlights TTE as a critical differential diagnosis for pediatric inguinal hernias associated with undescended testes, particularly in LMICs. Surgeons must prioritize intraoperative exploration when imaging is inaccessible to ensure timely management. Awareness of this rare anomaly and tailored surgical strategies are essential to optimize outcomes in resource-limited contexts.
