[Polyorchidism].
Polyorchidism, defined as the presence of more than two testes, is a rare entity. The review of the literature has yielded aprox. 50 cases, and the author added two more. The orchidopexy should be performed to prevent torsion. If polyorchidism is associated with cryptorchidism, the orchidopexy have to be performed around 2 years of age similarly to cryptorchidism.
