title: Perineal ectopic testis: a rare cause of empty scrotum.
abstract: Perineal ectopic testis is a rare congenital anomaly and remains a urologic curiosity. We report the course of 2 recurrent cases after hormonal therapy and a third case associated with inguinal hernia. During the surgical exploration, the gubernaculum testis was found fixed to the perineum. The testes were placed in the scrotum. The evaluation of differential diagnosis of empty scrotum is recommended.
