A review of the English literature has yielded 39 cases of polyorchidism suitable for consideration in this review, and we add one more. The patients may be grouped according to the location of the aberrant testicular mass or the anatomic arrangement of their collecting systems.

Introduction: Triorchidism is a rare anomaly whose management raised considerable discussion. Several factors must be considered, including the patient's age, the testes location, their functional status, and the accessibility and compliance for follow-up. We present a case of triorchidism diagnosed incidentally during a routine hernioplasty procedure, serving educational and informative purposes.

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.

Department of General Surgery, Kabul University of Medical Science, Ali Abad Teaching Hospital, Kabul, Afghanistan.
Introduction And Importance: Polyorchidism, or supernumerary testis, is a rare urogenital congenital disorder. Because of its rarity, there is no approved standard treatment protocol for preserving or removing the extra testicle, yet orchiopexy is frequently performed as a preferred treatment in most medical facilities.
Case Presentation: We present a 23-year-old single male with a bilaterally empty scrotum.

It is a rare congenital abnormality with approximately 200 reported cases in the literature. Most cases are found on the left side within the scrotum.

Polyorchidism, a congenital malformation characterized by supernumerary testes (SNTs), is usually revealed incidentally during ultrasound or open scrotal surgery. In the approximately 200 cases so far published in the literature, the left side is affected more often than the right. Despite the rarity of this anomaly, a surgeon must have basic knowledge of its embryological basis and classifications to implement proper treatment and avoid overlooking it, since the consequences could harm the patient.
