Although excision of the abnormal testis is a safer alternative proposed, recent literature suggests more conservative approach in normal testes with watchful regular follow up to screen for malignancy. This case presented as a left inguinal swelling diagnosed as indirect left inguinal hernia. The left side testis was of smaller size (about half) with normal sperm count, morphology and motility. Intraoperatively indirect inguinal hernia was noted with supernumerary testis at deep ring in addition to normal left testis in left scrotal sac. The ectopic testis were small (2.5\u00d72.5\u00d71 cm) lacking epididymis and with short vas deferens. An evident normal semen analysis and varied anatomy, the decision for orchidectomy of ectopic testis was taken. The histopathological finding was consistent with arrest in germ cell development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/cp.2016.786","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,24]],"date-time":"2016-06-24T01:45:54Z","timestamp":1466732754000},"page":"786","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Triorchidism: Presenting as Undescended Testis in a Case of Indirect Inguinal Hernia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Ajay H.","family":"Bhandarwar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saurabh S.","family":"Gandhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chintan B.","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amol N.","family":"Wagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Virendra","family":"Gawli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nimesh A.","family":"Jain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"37","article-title":"Triorchidism: an incidental finding and review of literature","volume":"50","author":"Kundu","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Anat Soc India"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"102","article-title":"Polyorchidism: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"1","author":"Sonmez","year":"2012","journal-title":"Andrology"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.5152\/tud.2013.027","article-title":"Report of a boy with polyorchidism and a review of current knowledge regarding this unusual anomaly","volume":"39","author":"Sa","year":"2013","journal-title":"Turk J Urol"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1835","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa067588","article-title":"Age at surgery for undescended testis and risk of testicular cancer","volume":"356","author":"Pettersson","year":"2007","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"162","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-1208.74166","article-title":"Management of polyorchidism: surgery or conservative management?","volume":"3","author":"Bayraktar","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Hum Reprod Sci"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2422","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2009.07.063","article-title":"Polyorchidism: a meta-analysis","volume":"182","author":"Bergholz","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"703","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.63.742.703","article-title":"Polyorchidism","volume":"63","author":"Haddock","year":"1987","journal-title":"Postgrad Med J"},{"key":"ref8","first-page":"28","article-title":"Polyorchidism: a rare finding in inguinal swelling","volume":"4","author":"Parihar","year":"2013","journal-title":"APSP J Case Rep"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1159\/000111738","article-title":"Polyorchidism: presentation of 2 cases, review of the literature and a new management strategy","volume":"80","author":"Khedis","year":"2008","journal-title":"Urol Int"}],"container-title":["Clinics and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.clinicsandpractice.org\/index.php\/cp\/article\/viewFile\/786\/714","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2039-7283\/6\/2\/786\/pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,10]],"date-time":"2022-02-10T06:36:11Z","timestamp":1644474971000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2039-7283\/6\/2\/786"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,23]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4]]}},"alternative-id":["cp.2016.786"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/cp.2016.786","relation":{},"ISSN":["2039-7283"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2039-7283","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,23]]}}}
