Three testicles in one hemiscrotum: an unusual presentation of polyorchidism

Polyorchidism, or more than one testicle in a hemiscrotum, is a relatively rare phenomenon. It is often associated with several other conditions, including inguinal hernia, testicular maldescent, testicular torsion, hydrocele or hypospadias. In this report, we describe a patient who presented with three testicles in one hemiscrotum, which is a highly unusual presentation for an already uncommon condition. We also review the relevant literature as it relates to the need for surveillance due to the increased risk for malignancy.
