[Femoral testis: report of three cases]

Three patients were referred to our clinic with the chief complaint of emptiness of the right scrotal contents. Every physical examination in these patients revealed a little-finger-tip sized mass corresponding to the normal testis at the right side of the femoral region. Right orchiopexy by the dartos-pouch technique was successfully performed. On every surgical exploration of these patients, the gubernaculum was fixed to the femoral skin and the testis was found to be normal in size. Our cases are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cases of femoral testis, reported in the Japanese literature.
