[Crossed testicular ectopia in indigenous child].

Area of Science:

• Pediatric Surgery
• Urology
• Developmental Biology

Background:

• Crossed testicular ectopia (CTE) is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly.
• It involves the bilateral testes migrating into a single inguinal canal.
• CTE is frequently associated with contralateral inguinal hernia and cryptorchidism.

Observation:

• This report presents a case of CTE in a two-year-old Brazilian indigenous boy.
• The patient presented with the characteristic migration of both testes into one inguinal canal.
• Associated conditions such as inguinal hernia or contralateral cryptorchidism were not detailed in the abstract.

Findings:

• The case highlights the occurrence of crossed testicular ectopia in a pediatric patient.
• Surgical intervention was performed for the condition.
• A favorable postoperative outcome was achieved.

Implications:

• This case contributes to the limited literature on crossed testicular ectopia.
• It underscores the importance of recognizing and managing this rare condition in pediatric urology.
• Successful surgical management can lead to positive patient outcomes.
