We report a rare case of TTE discovered coincidentally during surgery in a 1-year-old boy who presented with bilateral undescended testis and right inguinoscrotal swelling. The use of laparoscopy during evaluation for impalpable testis can aid in the diagnosis of TTE, before inguinal exploration. Findings such as the vascular supply and vas deferens of the crossed testis and the identification of M\u00fcllerian structures can be confirmed by laparoscopy. Diagnostic laparoscopy was suggestive of both the testes entering in the right-sided open deep inguinal ring, while left-sided deep inguinal ring was found to be closed. There was no evidence of persistent M\u00fcllerian structures. On exploration, both testes were present in the right inguinal region. A bilateral trans-septal orchidopexy along with right herniotomy was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.ajps_133_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,15]],"date-time":"2022-12-15T10:33:50Z","timestamp":1671100430000},"page":"74-76","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Rare Presentation of Transverse Testicular Ectopia and Role of Laparoscopy"],"prefix":"10.67481","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Rajat","family":"Piplani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":null,"reference":[{"key":"R1-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"536","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-4295(82)90614-8","article-title":"Transverse testicular ectopia with persistent M\u00fcllerian duct","volume":"19","author":"Fourcroy","year":"1982","journal-title":"Urology"},{"key":"R2-14-20240829","first-page":"376","article-title":"Ectopia testis transversa","volume":"1","author":"Von Lenhossek","year":"1886","journal-title":"Anat Anz"},{"key":"R3-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1362","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(97)90323-7","article-title":"Transverse testicular ectopia with persistent m\u00fcllerian duct syndrome","volume":"32","author":"Karnak","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"R4-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(82)80323-0","article-title":"Transverse testicular ectopia","volume":"17","author":"Gauderer","year":"1982","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"R5-14-20240829","first-page":"222","article-title":"Crossed testicular ectopia: A case report","volume":"2","author":"Feizzadeh Kerigh","year":"2005","journal-title":"Urol J"},{"key":"R6-14-20240829","first-page":"333","article-title":"Persistent m\u00fcllerian duct syndrome with transverse testicular ectopia: A case report with literature review","volume":"34","author":"Acikalin","year":"2004","journal-title":"Turk J Med Sci"},{"key":"R7-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"328","DOI":"10.3346\/jkms.1998.13.3.328","article-title":"Transverse testicular ectopia found by preoperative ultrasonography","volume":"13","author":"Nam","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Korean Med Sci"},{"key":"R8-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"122","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1464-410X.1997.27226.x","article-title":"Persistent m\u00fcllerian duct syndrome with or without transverse testicular ectopia and testis tumours","volume":"79","author":"Berkmen","year":"1997","journal-title":"Br J Urol"},{"key":"R9-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-410X.1987.tb04627.x","article-title":"Crossed testicular ectopia detected by laparoscopy","volume":"59","author":"Gornall","year":"1987","journal-title":"Br J Urol"},{"key":"R10-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"935","DOI":"10.1590\/S1516-31801995000400003","article-title":"Crossed testicular ectopia","volume":"113","author":"Esteves","year":"1995","journal-title":"Sao Paulo Med J"},{"key":"R11-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"305","DOI":"10.1007\/s10029-008-0434-5","article-title":"Misdiagnosed transverse testicular ectopia: A rare entity","volume":"13","author":"Pandey","year":"2009","journal-title":"Hernia"},{"key":"R12-14-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"397","DOI":"10.1007\/s10029-004-0232-7","article-title":"Irreducible inguinal hernia due to crossed testicular ectopia in an infant","volume":"8","author":"Vaos","year":"2004","journal-title":"Hernia"}],"container-title":["African Journal of Paediatric Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_133_21","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T00:49:23Z","timestamp":1782953363000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_133_21"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,1]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_133_21","relation":{},"ISSN":["0189-6725"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0189-6725","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,1]]}}}
