Perineal ectopic testis - a rare encounter in paediatric surgical practice

ABSTRACT

Perineal ectopic testis is a rare form of testicular maldescent. We report 2 patients with perineal ectopic testes, in one of them, the condition was bilateral [only the 6th case of this variety]. Surgery was performed in both cases and testicles were mobilized and fixed in the scrotum. Gubernaculum testis was found to be fixed in the perineum. Examination of patient with empty scrotum [maldescent testes] should include examination of sites like perineum to look for ectopic testis
