title: Polyorchidism with normal spermatogenesis, diagnosed preoperatively by ultrasound. A case report.
abstract: Polyorchidism is a rare urological anomaly with less than 60 cases reported in the literature. We report a case of right-sided polyorchidism with normal spermatogenesis diagnosed preoperatively by ultrasound imaging. Because of the high accuracy of ultrasound, surgical explorations are unnecessary if there are no signs of testicular torsion or other anomalies requiring operation.
