Abstract:
Abdominoscrotal hydrocele and transverse testis ectopia are rare clinical conditions. This case report describes the combination of these two rare entities. An azoospermic and infertile adult man presented with left abdominoscrotal hydrocele and a right impalpable testis. He was treated with left orchiopexy, right orchiectomy, and excision of the abdominoscrotal hydrocele. We discuss the diagnosis and treatment of this combination, which has not been previously reported.
