title: [Ectopia testicular in child: about 3 cases].
abstract: The authors report 3 cases of testicular ectopia. Of these 3 cases, two proved tobe cases of penial ectopia whose diagnosis was mentionned before the intervention. One case proved tobe a case of tranverse testicular ectopia diagnosed as an inguino-scrotal hernia. Surgical exploration has always allowed to reach a correct diagnosis. In all three cases the testicle was of normal size and the cord long enough to lower the testicle between the skin an the dartos Surraco's procedure. The authors discuss the pathogenis of this affection, echography contribution in the diagnosis, and the therapeutics aspects.
