Crossed testicular ectopia in association with double incomplete testicular descent

Crossed testicular ectopia is a rare condition which usually presents as a hernia on the side of a fully descended testis and an impalpable testis on the contralateral side. At operation two testes are found on the side of the hernia. A case of crossed testicular ectopia where both testes had failed to reach the scrotum is described. The criteria for diagnosis of crossed testicular ectopia are listed and the appropriate management of the disorder is discussed.
