Background: Ectopic scrotum (ES) is an extremely rare congenital scrotal malformation. Ectopic scrotum with VATER/VACTERL [vertebral defects (V), anal atresia or anorectal malformations (A), cardiac defects (C), tracheoesophageal fistula with or without esophageal atresia (TE), cardiac defects, renal malformations (R), and limb defects (L)] association is even rarer. There are no uniform guidelines for diagnosis and treatment.
Clinical Case: We described a 2-year-5-month-old boy who has ectopic scrotum and penoscrotal transposition and reviewed relevant literature in this report. We performed laparoscopy exploration, rotation flap scrotoplasty, and orchiopexy and achieved a great result during the postoperative follow-up.
Conclusions: Combined with the previous literature, we made a summary to come up with a plan for the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic scrotum. Rotation flap scrotoplasty and orchiopexy are worthy of considering operative methods in treating ES. For penoscrotal transposition or VATER/VACTERL association, we can treat the diseases individually.

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.
