Sumario:According to additional anomalies, transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is classified into three groups. Type-2 TTE, accompanied by persistent mullerian duct syndrome, constitutes approximately 20% of the patients. Surgical treatment should be planned after careful physical examination, ultrasonography, and genetic/endocrinologic evaluation. Herniorrhaphy, orchiopexy with testicular biopsy, and excision of the mullerian structures are the most appropriate surgical approaches in cases of TTE with persistent mullerian duct syndrome. We aimed to share our approach to the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with type-2 TTE. Possibility of TTE should be kept in mind in children with nonpalpable testis on one side and inguinal hernia on the other side.
