Abstract
A 2-year-old male child presented to us with absent left testis in scrotum since birth. Parents noted a pinkish white globular mass in medial aspect of left thigh. At the time of presentation (2 years old) he had a 2 x 2 cm, firm, subcutaneous swelling located on the medial aspect of the left thigh. Ultrasonography was suggestive of left ectopic testis of size 1 x 1.2cm in the femoral region. Orchidopexy was done. In our case the term scrotoschisis will not be appropriate as testicular extrusion has occurred through femoral region and not the scrotum. This can be considered as extracorporeal testicular ectopia or bubonoschisis, respective to the location of the defect. We are reporting a case of extra corporeal testicular ectopia through the femoral region for the first time.
