Sumario:Bilobed testicle is an exceedingly rare congenital malformation with only seven cases reported in the literature. We describe the case of a 39-year-old man who presented with a left-bilobed testicle, resembling testicular malignancy. Despite its rarity, bilobed testicle should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a testicular mass is detected. Once malignancy has sufficiently been ruled out, bilobed testicle is typically managed conservatively.
