Rare Clinical Case: Polyorchidism

zPolyorchidism is a rare embryological anomaly that encompasses various forms, such as triorchidism, and involves at least one supernumerary testis, which may reside within or outside the scrotum.Approximately 65% of cases are reported on the left side, with the majority located in the scrotal area (75%).According to the literature, no specific abnormality has been consistently associated with polyorchidism.Patients are generally asymptomatic, but they may more commonly encounter conditions, such as cryptorchidism, inguinal hernia, testicular torsion, hydrocele, varicocele, or testicular cancer.However, although polyorchidism has been recognized as an anomaly for many years, there is no consensus on its management.
