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

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.
