Abstract:
Monorchism is a congenital anomaly showing complete absence of a testis on one side. We experienced a cases of monorchism in an 11 year-old boy, diagnosed through exploratory laparotomy. We can find the spermatic vessels and was deferens, but not testis and epididymis on the right side. The opposite testis was normal on palpation. Herein, we add another one case of monorchism after the report of 2 cases in 1978.
