Testicular ectopia. A case presentation.
Abstract
Perineal testicular ectopia is an infrequent congenital anomaly and it is included within the empty scrotum syndrome. The case of a patient with empty right scrotum and a palpable ipsolateral perineal mass associated to right inguinal hernia is reported. The patient was operated in the Provincial General Teaching Hospital Dr. "Antonio Luaces Iraola", Ciego de Avila. During the surgical exploration, the right testicle and its gubernaculum testis were fixed to the right perineum. The characteristics of the testicle and its elements were normal. The testicle was fixed to the right scrotum without difficulty. The early detection of this pathology and its surgical repair on time, favored the organ functionality.Downloads
