Polyorchidism is a congenital malformation of the urogenital system that is usually found incidentally in adolescent age groups. Ultrasound and MRI are effective non-invasive diagnostic modalities which can differentiate this condition from other intrascrotal pathologies. Ultrasonography is mostly used in initial steps of diagnostic approach; however, MRI is considered as a modality to confirm diagnosis and evaluate possible malignancy. We report an extremely rare case of pentaorchidism (five testicles), presented with a left hemiscrotum mass. Diagnosis was made based on physical examination, laboratory analysis (testicular germ cell tumour markers and semen analysis) and imaging. Finally, close surveillance with ultrasound and physical examination was recommended for follow-up of this uncomplicated patient.
