title: Laparoscopically assisted treatment of transverse testicular ectopia with persistent Müllerian duct syndrome: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Transverse testicular ectopia coexisting with persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is a rare malformation and evidence regarding the optimal treatment of these patients is still unclear. Description of the case: We present the case of a 4-month-old boy in whom laparoscopy was utilized for the surgical correction of transverse testicular ectopia and excision of Müllerian remnants.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Based on current literature and the presented case, we support that laparoscopy is a feasible and safe procedure in patients with transverse testicular ectopia and persistent Müllerian duct syndrome. Hippokratia 2016, 20(1): 88-89.
