Bilobed testis is an extremely rare congenital malformation, and even rarer on the right side. Only 7 cases have been reported in the literature. We describe the case of a 9-year-old boy with a right bilobed testicle confirmed on ultrasound and discovered incidentally as a mass on physical examination. The aim of our work is to consider the bilobed testicle as a differential diagnosis of a testicular mass despite its rarity and to show the importance of ultrasound and MRI for its definitive diagnosis to avoid unnecessary surgery.

In Drosophila testis, myosin VI plays a special role, distinct from its motor function, by anchoring components to the unusual actin-based structures (cones) that are required for spermatid individualization. For this, the two calmodulin (CaM) light-chain molecules of myosin VI are replaced by androcam (ACaM), a related protein with 67% identity to CaM. Although ACaM has a similar bi-lobed structure to CaM, with two EF hand-type Ca binding sites per lobe, only one functional Ca binding site operates in the amino-terminus.

Introduction: Bilobed testis is an uncommon congenital malformation with only eight cases reported up to now. It seems that bilobed testicle is a form of polyorchidism which is not yet thoroughly divided. This report could provide information about diagnosing minor lobulation on ultrasound and MRI for the first time.

Bilobed testicle is an exceedingly rare congenital malformation with only seven cases reported in the literature. We describe the case of a 39-year-old man who presented with a left-bilobed testicle, resembling testicular malignancy. Despite its rarity, bilobed testicle should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a testicular mass is detected.
