[Transverse ectopia of the testis. A case report].
A case of transverse ectopia of the right testis with left inguinal hernia is reported. A one-year-old-boy was admitted to our hospital with swelling of the left scrotal contents and right undescended testis. At operation, two testes were situated on the left side, one in the left scrotum and another in the left inguinal canal. Right transseptal orchiopexy was performed. Including our case, we discovered 73 cases of transverse ectopia of the testes in the Japanese literature. A brief discussion was made about the disease.
