Abstract

Pubo-penile testicular ectopia is a rare congenital malformation whose etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. It represents other testicular ectopias less than 1% of all testicular migration disorders. We report a clinical observation of a 4-month-old infant who consulted for swelling at the root of the penis associated with vacuity of the right hemi scrotum. An inguinal ultrasound was performed which confirmed the presence of the right testicle. An orchidopexy was performed at 4 months of life by an inguinal approach, the postoperative course was simple with a follow-up of 6 months.
