Ectopic scrotum is characterized by a unilateral scrotum located above or below the inguinal region or in the perineum. Inconspicuous penis refers to a penis that appears short or small but is of average size, merely buried or restricted by surrounding tissue. A case of concurrent ectopic scrotum and inconspicuous penis is reported. Orchiopexy and scrotoplasty may be performed for ectopic scrotum, while inconspicuous penis requires release or removal of surrounding tissue.

Male breast cancer represents only 1% of all breast malignancies, with ectopic breast cancer in men being even rarer and highly prone to diagnostic challenges. Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD), a rare cutaneous tumor with non-specific clinical symptoms, is susceptible to misdiagnosis. This report discusses the case of an older male patient who presented with a scrotal mass, later identified as ectopic breast invasive adenocarcinoma upon pathological examination post-lesion excision.

Since ectopic twisted testes are a rare condition, correctly and opportunely diagnosing them preoperatively is difficult and can result in testicular necrosis. We report a clinical case of a twisted ectopic testis that was diagnosed preoperatively by ultrasonography, and the testis could be rescued. A generally healthy 13-year-old boy was referred to our Urology Department after experiencing a painless swelling in the left inguinal region two weeks before, and mild exercise-induced pain in the same area one week before the referral.

Duplicate testes lined in series were observed in the right scrotum of a 6-week-old Sprague-Dawley rat in a single-dose toxicity study. Of the two right testicles, one was spherical and less than half the size of a normal testis. The other was oval-shaped, slightly smaller than a normal testis, and possessed clear, tortuous blood vessels similar to those of a normal testis.

Caudal duplication syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly with various duplications of structures derived from the embryonic cloaca and notochord. A male neonate was born with diphallia, bifid scrotum, and duplicated anorectal malformation. Diagnostic and operative evaluation identified a partially duplicated right kidney with left-to-right crossed fused ectopia, bilateral hydronephrosis, 2 separate hemi-bladders, left ectopic ureter with vesicoureteral reflux, and a left rectourethral fistula.

Article Synopsis
- Perineal ectopic testis (PET) is a rare condition where the testis is misplaced, often diagnosed through physical exams revealing an empty scrotum alongside discomfort in the perineal area, especially when sitting.
- In two pediatric cases, children experienced perineal discomfort leading to difficulties in sitting, prompting surgical intervention (orchidopexy) to correct the testis position, with successful outcomes and no complications.
- Early diagnosis and treatment are vital in PET to ensure proper testicular function, with symptoms of discomfort serving as important indicators for further examination in young patients.
