Introduction: Triorchidism is a rare anomaly whose management raised considerable discussion. Several factors must be considered, including the patient's age, the testes location, their functional status, and the accessibility and compliance for follow-up. We present a case of triorchidism diagnosed incidentally during a routine hernioplasty procedure, serving educational and informative purposes.

Introduction And Importance: Poly-orchidism is a rare congenital anomaly of the genitourinary system, which is characterized by the presence of more than two testicles, also being termed as "supernumerary testis". Tri-orchidism is the most frequently encountered form of poly-orchidism, which is defined as the presence of more than two intra- or extra-scrotal testicles.
Case Presentation: The authors present a case of a 16-year-old male who presented with a complaint of an empty left scrotal sac, and was later diagnosed as a case of tri-orchidism with each testis in bilateral hemipelvis confirmed by ultrasound with Doppler and MRI.

Background: Polyorchidism, defined by the presence of more than two testes, is a rare congenital condition with an unclear etiology. It is hypothesized that the abnormal division of the genital ridge in the fetal embryonic period is responsible for the development of one or more supernumerary testicles. Due to the rarity of polyorchidism and its wide range of clinical presentations, the management of polyorchidism is unclear.

Polyorchidism, or supernumerary testis, is a rare congenital abnormality of the genitourinary system. In this paper, we present the case of triorchidism in a seven-year-old asymptomatic child with a suspect left scrotal mass detected on routine physical examination. Imaging studies revealed a third testicle in the left hemiscrotum, with comparable dimensions, signal intensity on MRI, and Doppler flow on ultrasound with the ipsilateral testis.
