A case of peeping testis moving from the inguinal position into the abdomen

We report herein a 14-month-old boy with a left-sided peeping testis. At the age of 1 month, the left testis was palpated between the inguinal canal and the scrotum. When he was 6 months old, ultrasonography showed the left testis in the inguinal canal. At the age of 13 months, the left testis was not palpable. At the age of 14 months, he underwent surgery for a planned inguinal orchidopexy with a preoperative diagnosis of an undescended testis. When the inguinal canal was opened, a patent processus vaginalis was observed and the testis was found inside the abdominal cavity. The patent processus vaginalis was closed, a dartos pouch was created and the testis was guided into the pouch and fixed to its wall. We describe a case of a peeping testis moving from the inguinal position into the abdomen.
