[Supernumerary testis and homolateral varicocele. Apropos of a case, study of spermatogenesis and review of the literature].
Polyorchidism is a rare abnormality. A case is reported of a small scrotal supernumerary testis associated with a large varicocele. A torsion of this testis probably occurred and the vascular pedicle seemed atrophic. Despite abnormal fertility with oligozoospermy the accessary testis was removed. A review of relevant literature is made giving details of embryology of this anomaly.
