Introduction: Polyorchidism is a rare condition with a total number of approximately 190 cases. Malignancy was found in 6,4% of cases.
Case Presentation: A 57 years old man came with a sudden and persistent painful mass in right inguinal region. The patient decided to undergo surgery with diagnosis of incarserated lateral hernia inguinal and obtained a testicular-like lump in the right inguinal canal, then the patient underwent orchiectomy. Histopathological examination revealed a soft tissue tumor with microscopic characteristic of seminoma. CT-Scan revealed metastasis to lung and liver.
Conclusion: Attention must be given to detect malignancy in polyorchidism.

Article Synopsis
- - This study examined testicular lesions in cats in Hong Kong from 2018 to 2024, focusing on both neoplastic (tumor-related) and non-neoplastic (non-tumor-related) findings.
- - Out of 26 testis samples from 18 cats, non-neoplastic lesions were more common, especially inflammation and conditions like cryptorchidism, while neoplastic lesions were found in three older cats, including Sertoli cell tumor, leiomyoma, and fibrosarcoma.
- - The research highlights that non-neoplastic lesions are prevalent and identifies new instances of leiomyoma and fibrosarcoma in cats’ testes, suggesting the need for awareness about these possible conditions.

Scrotal masses, whether cystic or solid lesions, are routinely evaluated using ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used for further investigation in cases with atypical findings, difficult diagnoses, large masses, and/or unclear relationships with the surrounding tissues. Scrotal solid masses are divided into intra- and extra-testicular masses.
