Abstract:
Perineal ectopic testis is a rare condition seen in less than 1% of all cases of undescended testis. In this study, we diagnosed a perineal ectopic testis in a 7-month-old physical examination. A solitary, oval mass on the lower and lateral side of the palpation right hemiscrotum was identified and this mass was defined as the correct testicle at the ultrasound of scrotal. Orchiopexy was performed following herniography, and the scrotum was attached to the scrotum using the dartos pouch technique. We believe that orchidopexy is the preferred treatment of choice.
