Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly in which both testes are located in the same hemiscrotum or inguinal region. The mean age at presentation was reported as 4 years. It is more common on the right side. We here report a case with incarcerated inguinal hernia and transverse testicular ectopia. The most important points in the diagnosis of transverse testicular ectopia are to be aware of this infrequent malformation and performing genitourinary examination of male newborns.

AbstractCrossed Testicular Ectopia (CTE)/Transverse Testicular Ectopia (TTE) is a rare but well-known congenital anomaly, in which both gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum. It is usually associated with other abnormalities such as persistent Mullerian duct syndrome, True Hermaphroditism, Inguinal Hernia, Hypospadias, Pseudohermaphroditism, and scrotal anomalies. We report a case of 6 years old male child with right undescended testis and empty left scrotum. Diagnosis was confirmed preoperatively by ultrasound followed by open inguinal exploration for orchidopexy.

Crossed testicular ectopia also known as transverse testicular ectopia is a rare anomaly of the testis which is ectopically located in contralateral hemiscrotum with absent testis in the ipsilateral hemiscrotum. Most case are incidentally discovered intraopeartively during operation of inguinal hernia and few case reports are available which have reported preoperative diagnosis of crossed testicular ectopia. We report a case of crossed testicular ectopia in 12 year old boy who presented with right undescended testis diagnosed preoperative on Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging as crossed testicular ectopia. Keywords: crossed ectopia; MRI; testis; ultrasonography.
