Transverse testicular ectopia with persistent Muellerian duct syndrome.
A one-year-old boy was admitted with complaints of swelling in the left inguinoscrotal region and an empty right scrotum since birth. The inguinoscrotum contained two ovoid solid swellings one above the other. The swellings were testes like in feel, size and shape. The diagnosis was transverse testicular ectopia. The case was managed by surgery. Tissue from gonads, the tubular structures and the fallopian tubes were sent for histopathological examination for confirmation. This was a case of an otherwise normal male with transverse testicular ectopia with persistent Muellerian duct syndrome in the left inguinoscrotal hernial sac.
