    This report details a rare case of transverse testicular ectopia, where both testes were found in the left scrotum. This condition, involving undescended testes, has been documented 66 times in Japan.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Developmental Biology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital anomaly where testes fail to follow their normal descent pathway.
    • It is characterized by both testes residing in the same hemiscrotum, often accompanied by an absent contralateral testis or vas deferens.

    Observation:

    • A 35-year-old male presented with left scrotal swelling.
    • Surgical exploration revealed both testes located within the left scrotal compartment, with the right hemiscrotum empty.

    Findings:

    • The case represents a rare instance of transverse testicular ectopia.
    • This brings the total reported cases in Japan to 66, highlighting its infrequent occurrence.

    Implications:

    • Understanding TTE is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of cryptorchidism.
    • This case contributes to the limited global literature on TTE, aiding in comprehending its embryological basis.
    • Further research may elucidate the genetic and environmental factors contributing to this condition.
