Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital anomaly, in which both gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum with increased risk of testicular malignancy and associated with various abnormalities. Proper knowledge and imaging techniques are essential in diagnosis. Ultrasonography(USG) offer an easy, safe, and convenient alternative in assessment of TTE. We report a case of 41-year-male with infertility, who presented with left reducible inguinal hernia and right undescended testis. Final diagnosis was confirmed by USG and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). The embryology, imaging features and USG evaluation of infertility are discussed with review of pertinent literature.

An uncommon congenital abnormality known as crossed testicular ectopia (CTE) or transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) occurs when both testes migrate into the same hemiscrotum. Inguinal hernia and persistent Müllerian duct syndrome are frequently associated with it. We present a case of "TTE" in a 1-year-old boy with an empty right hemiscrotum and left inguinal hernia.

Introduction And Importance: Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital anomaly in which both testes descend into the same inguinal canal and are located in the same hemiscrotum. Diagnosing TTE can be challenging due to its rarity and unusual presentation.
Case Presentation: The authors present a case of a male in his 50s who was diagnosed with left transverse testicular ectopia after presenting with an empty right hemiscrotum and two testes-like masses in the left hemiscrotum.

This report describes the rare case of transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) associated with polyorchidism in a 16-month-old male, successfully managed through laparoscopic surgery. The patient presented with bilateral cryptorchidism, a palpable mass in the right inguinal canal and an absent left-side gonad. Ultrasound revealed three gonad-like structures.

Introduction And Importance: Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome is an exceptional genetic condition that occurs secondary to mutations in AMH and AMHR-II. The individuals with this condition exhibit well-developed secondary sexual characteristics despite having a uterus and fallopian tubes. The case mentioned here was worth reporting due to the scarcity of prevalence of PMDS.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the semen of men seeking infertility treatment at Amiens University Hospital from May to October 2021, involving 461 participants who provided informed consent.
- Semen samples were analyzed for HPV using PCR, revealing that 22.3% of men carried HPV, with high-oncogenic-risk types being the most common (57.6%).
- The analysis found significant associations between HPV carriage and factors like abnormal sperm quality, type of infertility, presence of varicocele, and certain testicular conditions, indicating that HPV may contribute to infertility risks.
