A Rare Case of Polyorchidism: Sonographic and MR Evaluation of Four Testes

Mymensingh Med J. 2021 Jul;30(3):846-849.

Abstract

Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly reported about 200 cases in the world text. A number of theories have been planned concerning the making of polyorchidism, but the real explanation is still not acknowledged. Here we are going to present a case study of polyorchidism. A 70 years old gentleman complained with left supernumerary testes in the left hemiscrotum. His left hemiscrotum was painless with mass. Polyorchidism without malignancy or any other concomitant features were revealed by both ultrasound and MRI examinations. In most cases the ultrasonograph alone is diagnostic. In complicated cases of polyorchidism MRI may provide additional information.
