Abstract

Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly. We report 1 case in a Malagasy young man revealed by left scrotal mass. The diagnostic was suspected by clinical examination and confirmed by testicular sonography. Management is conservative, based on clinical and sonography surveillance of supernumerary testicle.
