Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital condition characterized by migration of both testes through the same inguinal canal and often presents with an inguinal hernia. TTE is associated with various genitourinary anomalies. CASE PRESENTATION A three-year-old boy presented with a non-palpable right testis and a palpable undescended left testis in the left inguinal area. Ultrasound (US) indicated the presence of both testes in the left inguinal canal. In surgery, the two testes were found with separated cord and one hernia sac which was dissected and ligated thus the two cords freed. Next, subdartos pouches were created on both scrotum sides, so that testes placed into the left side first, and then a window created in the scrotal septum which allowed the right testis to be translocated and secured in the right subdartos pouch without tension. DISCUSSION TTE is a rare condition and the etiology is not definitively known. TTE usually presents with an inguinal hernia and contralateral cryptorchidism. The diagnosis is made during surgery, but some radiological methods can help in diagnosis. Management is usually surgical and involves interventions such as hernia repair, reduction of the testis and orchiopexy. Continuous monitoring is essential for ensuring postoperative testes health and evaluating the risk of malignancy. CONCLUSION TTE should be suspected in cases with unilateral empty scrotum and family history of genital disorders. US is critical for accurately localizing the testes, along with surgical exploration, to proceed with the appropriate surgical intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crossed testicular ectopia or transverse testicular ectopia is an extremely rare urogenital anomaly. In this condition, on average at 4 years of age the testes migrate through the inguinal canal and one or both testes may turn up in the abdomen, inguinal region, or in the hemiscrotum, with an empty contralateral hemiscrotum. Our case report documents transverse testicular ectopia in a 5-year-old boy who presented with right inguinal hernia and nonpalpable left testis. He underwent previous right herniorrhaphy at the age of 1 year. CASE PRESENTATION A 5-year-old Iranian boy was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia. He underwent right inguinal herniorrhaphy at the age of 1 year. For this case report, the hernia symptoms had returned. Both testicles were palpated in the right scrotum, an ultrasound examination also revealed both testicles to be present in the right scrotum, and a hernia sac located in the right inguinal region with an internal ring. The patient was recommended to undergo a surgical reconstruction. Surgical reconstruction was performed by crossing the left testis in the transseptal orchiopexy technique. CONCLUSION In patients with cryptorchidism on one side and an inguinal hernia on the other side, the surgeon must consider a rare condition known as transverse testicular ectopia. Sonography can be helpful for diagnosing cases where transverse testicular ectopia is suspected, evaluating other anomalies, and selecting the most appropriate treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital anomaly in which both the testis are in the same hemiscrotum or one testis in the inguinal canal of the same side. It is usually associated with other anomalies such as inguinal hernia, persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), true hermaphroditism, and pseudo-hermaphroditism. In this case report, we present a rare case of TTE in an adult patient with fused vas deferens, aplastic right seminal vesicle, and right side inguinal hernia.
Case presentation
A 33-year-old male came with complaint of severe pain in the scrotum for 2 days with a long-standing history of right inguinoscrotal swelling. Clinical examination revealed a right inguinoscrotal swelling in which right testis was not palpable separately and left testis was palpable at periphery of the left hemiscrotum. Ultrasound imaging and MRI of the scrotum revealed TTE with both testes in the left hemiscrotum, fused vas deferens, right aplastic and left hypoplastic seminal vesicle, right side patent process vaginalis with a non-obstructive, and non-strangulated inguinal hernia. Surgical intervention with transeptal orchidodpexy was advised but not performed due to the patient’s unwillingness. Hence, we recommended an annual follow-up for the same.
Conclusion
The present case report emphasizes that though TTE is a rare congenital anomaly, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with an absent testis and/or infertility, and a detailed imaging and biochemical investigation should be employed considering the wide spectrum of associated conditions.

Abstract
Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare anomaly characterized by testicular descent into the scrotum through the same inguinal canal. Here, we report the case of a 15-year-old boy diagnosed with transverse testicular ectopia wherein both testes descended through separate inguinal canals. He underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy which helped to identify both spermatic cords entering both inguinal canals separately. During scrotal exploration, both testes were found in the same side. Transseptal orchidopexy was performed. The short-term follow-up is uneventful.

Abstract
Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare anomaly in which both the testes descend through a single inguinal canal and enter the same hemiscrotum. While TTE most commonly occurs in children, a few cases have been reported in adults as well. In this report, we present a case of TTE found accidentally during robotic exploration for right inguinal hernia with left cryptorchidism. Surgeons who frequently engage in the repair of inguinal hernia should be aware of the diagnostic and management options available to them when this condition is found unexpectedly during exploration.

Abstract
Background Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare anomaly in which both testes descend through a single inguinal canal into the same hemiscrotum. Although almost 20–50% of patients with TTE exhibit persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) and many genetic analyses have been performed, no reports have described the genes contributing to TTE without PMDS. Here, we report two cases of TTE without PMDS using immunohistochemical staining and genetic analysis. Case presentation Two Asian patients with TTE without PMDS were subjected to orchiopexy. We performed testicular biopsies during operation and obtained blood samples before the operation. Testicular tissues were stained for c-kit, placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP), and undifferentiated embryonic cell transcription factor 1 (UTF1) to evaluate the presence of intratubular malignant germ cells. Additionally, we performed polymerase chain reaction-based direct sequencing to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes associated with regression of the Müllerian duct and testicular descent (that is, anti-Müllerian hormone [AMH], AMH receptor 2 [AMHR2], insulin-like 3 [INSL3], and relaxin family peptide receptor 2 [RXFP2]). The three-dimensional structures of proteins were predicted using SWISS-MODEL. In immunohistochemical analysis, c-kit and UTF1 were positive, whereas PLAP was negative in three testicular tissue samples from the two patients. These features were also detected on the unaffected side. In variant analysis, common missense variants in the AMH gene (g.365G>T; c.165G>T; p.Ser49Ile [rs10407022]) were observed. All variants in INSL3 and RXFP2 genes were intronic or silent. Conclusions Because UTF1, a specific marker of spermatogonial stem cell activity, was expressed in both the affected and unaffected sides in the testicular tissues of two patients, the risk of malignancy may be high in these patients. Although the etiology of TTE without PMDS remains unclear, our variant analysis results were consistent with previous reports, and variants in the AMH gene (rs10407022) may contribute to the specific phenotype of TTE without PMDS.

Abstract
Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is an uncommon anatomical abnormality where both the gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum. Embryologically, several theories regarding the origin of TTE have been suggested including adhesion and fusion of developing Wolffian canals, aberrant gubernaculum, testicular adhesions, defective formation of the internal inguinal ring, and traction on the testis by persistent Mullerian structures. To date, about 100 cases of TTE have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report five cases of TTE operated in the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner, over a period of 5 years. All cases were in the age group of 3 months to 4 years, out of which four were diagnosed preoperatively by clinical examination and ultrasonography (USG). Two of these four cases presented with inguinoscrotal swellings and contralateral undescended testes and other two presented with absence of testes in the scrotum. One case presented with a scrotal abscess which revealed both the testes in the abscess cavity. All five cases were operated upon with herniotomy and transseptal orchidopexy and discharged successfully. TTE, although rare, has a spectrum of presentations and should be kept in mind as a possibility in cases of inguinoscrotal disorders in young age group. A preoperative USG may be helpful in conformation of diagnosis.

Abstract
The first case is a 45-year-old man who presented with complaints of right-sided indirect hernia. On examination the left hemiscrotum was empty. Open hernioplasty and mesh fixation with orchiopexy of both testes were done in the same hemiscrotum, followed by MRI for further evaluation. The second case is a 26-year-old man who presented with penoscrotal hypospadias and empty left hemiscrotum, with the left testis not palpable in the scrotum or the inguinal region. MRI, karyotyping and laparoscopic orchidectomy were performed, followed by endocrinology work-up. From our experience, preoperative diagnosis with ultrasonography and/or MRI prior to diagnostic laproscopy is benifical when there is a strong suspicion of mullerian duct remnants. In other cases, diagnostic laparoscopy can be useful in diagnosis and management. Placement of both testes in the same hemiscrotum can be considered safe, although not ideal. Also, in cases with partial gonadal dysgenesis, laparoscopic orchidectomy along with excision of the mullerian remnantsis a better approach than orchiopexy.

Abstract
TTE associated with PMDS is a rare case which is incidentally discovered during surgery of undescended testis. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary to prevent malignancy. Follow-up for fertility assessment in the latter years should be counselled.
İntroduction Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare anomaly characterized by the presence of both testicles in the same hemiscrotum or inguinal region. The most common clinical findings of TTE are unilateral nonpalpable testis in the scrotum and inguinal hernia on the side of palpable testis in the scrotum. It should be kept in mind that TTE may coexist with Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS). Therefore, appropriate treatment should be performed considering PMDS. Presentation of case Type 2 transverse testicular ectopia was diagnosed in one patient who was operated with bilateral undescended testis. He was treated with transseptal orchiopexy and excision of mullerian structures. Discussion In case of TTE with PMDS, optimal surgical approach with orchiopexy and excision of Müllerian duct is necessary. Intraoperative aggressive dissection of vas deferens and testicular vessels should be avoided in TTE patients. They should be closely followed because of the increased risk of malignant transformation in the postoperative period. Conclusion An investigation of transvers testicular ectopia should be performed in all nonpalpable undescended testis anomalies.

Abstract
Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) with fused vas deferens is an extremely rare clinical entity. Herein, we present a case of a 19-year-old patient with persistent left testicular pain lasting for a week. Clinical examination revealed an empty right hemiscrotum, a normal left-sided descended testis, and in close proximity a mass-like structure resembling testicular parenchyma. Laboratory tests were significant for elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), while sperm count revealed azoospermia. Ultrasound imaging (US) of the scrotum demonstrated the presence of both testes in the same left hemiscrotum with varicocele and no signs of inguinal hernia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the penis and scrotum revealed TTE with a single, fused vas deferens, and hypoplastic seminal vesicles. Surgical intervention by means of microsurgical sperm retrieval and transseptal orchidopexy were considered but not performed, primarily owing to the patient's unwillingness and to a lesser extent due to the restriction that the short and fused vas would pose in an attempt to transpose the ectopic testis. Therefore, an annual follow-up was recommended.

Abstract
This case report has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria; Consensus-based surgical case report guidelines of International Journal of Surgery 2016. Introduction Transverse Testicular Ectopia (TTE) is a rare condition which manifests with unilateral undescended testis and contralateral hernia. Till now around 100 cases have been described in the literature. The management depends on the anatomy of the vas, vessels and testis found on surgical exploration. An algorithm exists for its management and we propose a modified algorithm for management of TTE. Case presentation Five year male presented with complaints of unilateral undescended testis on the right and hernia on the left. Clinically the right testis was impalpable and left testis palpable in the left hemiscrotum and fluid hernia on the same side. Discussion Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare condition presenting with UDT and contralateral inguinal hernia. Although more than 100 cases have been described in the literature so far, those managed with a transeptal contralateral orchidopexy are two cases to the best of our knowledge. TTE was first described by Von Lenhossek in 1886. The mean age of presentation is around 4 years and most of the cases are diagnosed on surgical exploration. The management of TTE remains controversial even though an algorithm has been described for its management due to its varied presenting scenarios. Conclusion TTE is a rare condition which requires high index of suspicion for diagnosis preoperatively. Whenever suspected we recommend an USG and/or MRI prior to diagnostic laparoscopy and proceed with orchidopexy. Diagnostic laparoscopy is both helpful in diagnosis and management. Transeptal contralateral orchidopexy gives good tension free fixation of testes in the scrotum.
