title: Multi-cystic (rete testis) supernumerary testis in polyorchidism with underlying microlithiasis: ultrasound features.
abstract: Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly, readily diagnosed on ultrasound. Testicular microlithiasis is a condition increasingly recognized and with a possible association with primary testicular malignancy. Rete testis has a variable appearance and is an unusual finding in the young patient. We describe the ultrasound appearances of the combination of polyorchidism, rete testis and microlithiasis, a combination that has not been previously reported.
