title: Polyorchidism: preoperative diagnosis by ultrasonography.
abstract: Polyorchidism is an unusual abnormality of the genital tract in which supernumerary testicles are present, usually within the scrotum. We report a recently encountered case with no remarkable symptoms. Preoperative ultrasonographic evaluation differentiates this rare benign entity from more ominous abnormalities such as neoplastic involvement of the scrotal contents.
