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.

Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the testis, characterized by migration of one testis toward the contrary hemiscrotum. TTE is usually associated with other testicular abnormalities such as persistent Mullerian duct syndrome, hypospadias, true hermaphroditism, and scrotal anomalies. Testicular sonography is the main initial diagnostic modality, followed by magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum. These imaging modalities are important for determination of TTE and characterization of the testicular lesions. This case report provides the high-resolution ultrasonography, Doppler ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and diffusion-weighted imaging findings of a young man with seminoma in the transverse testicular ectopia. In addition, data on tumor stiffness, obtained with point shear-wave sonoelastography, are presented.

The increasing use of radiological examination, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), will probably increase the risk of unintended discovery of bone marrow abnormalities in patients where a hematologic disease would not be expected. In this paper we present four patients with different hematologic malignancies of nonplasma cell types. In all patients the MRI bone marrow abnormalities represent an initial presentation of the disease. These case reports illustrate the importance of a careful diagnostic follow-up without delay of patients with MRI bone marrow abnormalities, because such abnormalities can represent the first sign of both acute promyelocytic leukemia as well as other variants of acute leukemia.

Crossed testicular ectopia (CTE)/transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare condition occurring in only 1 in 4 million male patients, in which both testes migrate toward the same hemiscrotum.We report on two cases of TTE in first degree cousins (1 + 3 years of age).Both presented with right nonpalpable testis. On diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, the right testis was located above the left testis in both patients. Right orchiopexy was performed after passing the right testis through the median raphe of the scrotum followed by ipsilateral left scrotal orchiopexy.

Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by skin fibrofolliculomas, pulmonary cysts, spontaneous pneumothoraces, and renal cancers. Oncocytomas are benign epithelial tumors that are also rare. Recently, there have been a few case reports of BHD with a parotid oncocytoma that appears to have a BHD phenotype. Here we document the eighth known case and describe the magnetic resonance imaging features of the parotid oncocytoma, which mimicked Warthin’s tumor. Radiologists should be aware of the association between these rare disorders.

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.
