Abstract

Polyorchidism is defined by the presence of more than two testicles. It is a very rare anomaly. In this paper, we report a case of polyorchidism thatpresented as a painless scrotal mass. Undrained types require histological evaluation. Increased risk of malignancy should be taken into considerationin patients with nonscrotal supernumerary testes. We did not recommend any treatment to our patients who had scrotal supernumerary testicle andtwo children and decided to follow-up with scrotal ultrasound.

Özet

Poliorşidizm, ikiden fazla testisin varlığı olarak tanımlanır. Çok nadir görülen bir anomalidir. Bu yazıda ağrısız skrotal kitle ile ortaya çıkan poliorşidizmli bir olgu sunuldu. Drene olmayan fazladan testisler histolojik değerlendirme gerektirir. Nonskrotal yerleşimli poliorşidik hastalarda artmış malignite riski göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Skrotal poliorşidizmi ve iki çocuk sahibi olan hastamıza herhangi bir tedavi önermedik ve skrotal ultrasonografi ile takip etmeye karar verdik.
