Deskripsi
Polyorchidism is a rare type of developmental anomaly. It is defined as presence of more than one testis on the same side. Supernumeary testis with separate epididymis and separate vas deferens is a very rare variant of polyorchidism. We present a case of triorchidism presenting as cryptoorchidism in a six month old infant which on inguinal exploration was found to have double testes with separate vas deferens and epididymis. We closely followed the patient for two years after orchidopexy and found no complications or malignant change.
