Abstract
History of cryptorchidism is present in about 10% of infertile patients seeking medical help, whereas 20% of them are azoospermic. Most of the patients with bilateral cryptorchidism have a low testicular volume and high serum FSH level. Ectopic testes are present only in 5% of the patients with cryptorchidism. The anterior abdominal wall is a rare site for ectopic testis where Spigelian hernia is usually accompanied. We present a case of bilateral ectopic anterior abdominal wall testes associated with Spigelian hernia on the left side.
