Abstract:
Crossed testicular ectopia is an uncommon anatomical abnormality in which both gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum. We report a case of crossed testicular ectopia associated with bilateral cryptorchism. The crossed ectopic and intra-abdominal testis was fixed in it's own hemiscrotum by laparoscopic orchiopexy.
