    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Genetics
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Polyorchidism, the presence of supernumerary testes, is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly.
    • Historical accounts and folklore have mythologized polyorchidism, associating it with increased virility.
    • Previous medical literature predominantly documents cases with only one additional testis.
