Abstract
Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly in which both testes are located in the same hemiscrotum or inguinal region. The mean age at presentation was reported as 4 years. It is more common on the right side. We here report a case with incarcerated inguinal hernia and transverse testicular ectopia. The most important points in the diagnosis of transverse testicular ectopia are to be aware of this infrequent malformation and performing genitourinary examination of male newborns.
