title: Polyorchidism: an exceptional case of three homolateral testes.
abstract: Polyorchidism is an uncommon congenital anomaly defined as the presence of more than two histologically proved testes. The present case of polyorchidism was discovered casually in an 11-year-old boy while performing an orchiopexy. Three testes were found on the left side; we have been unable to find this exceptional anomaly previously published in the medical literature.
