Abstract
We report on a histologically proved case of polyorchidism. This rare condition is most often discovered in young males undergoing inguinal hernia repair. In 50 per cent of cases the patients are between fifteen and twenty-five years old. In more than 60 per cent of cases, polyorchidism is discovered on the left side, and 30 per cent are associated with an ipsilateral inguinal hernia. In 7.1 per cent of cases malignant degeneration and/or transformation occurs. Association with true cryptorchidism is still dubious. Management consists of recognition, multiple biopsies, and surgical excision.
