Abstract
A bilobed testicle is an extremely rare congenital malformation. Only seven cases have been reported in the literature to date.[1] In our knowledge, this is the first case of the bilobed testis to be reported in any radiology journal. Bilobed testis could be a variant of polyorchidism, having incomplete expression, so it may also be termed incomplete unilateral polyorchidism. Polyorchidism is relatively a more common condition than bilobed testis, still very rare in terms of overall incidence, with only about 200 cases reported to date.
