title: Occurrence of polyorchidism in a young man.
abstract: Polyorchidism is an uncommon congenital anomaly of the genital tract defined as the presence of more than two testes. Polyorchidism is associated with maldescent testis, inguinal hernia, torsion, and an increased risk of malignancy. However, if a neoplasm is ruled out by ultrasonography, surgical exploration is not needed. We report a case of multiple testicular glands.
