Abstract:
Testicular torsion in undescended testicles (UDTs) is a rare clinical combination. Symptoms can be ambiguous and misinterpreted as indications of other common conditions. Moreover, late identification of a UDT may significantly delay the diagnosis and lead to adverse outcomes. Here, we report a case of a 16-year-old boy with progressive pain in the right inguinal region and a history of right UDT. Intraoperatively, he was diagnosed with testicular torsion, and an orchiectomy was performed. This report also underscores the importance of an early UDT torsion diagnosis.
