Abstract :
Undescended Testis (UDT) is a medical term that is used for any testis which is not in its normal place (bottom of the scrotum). UDT can be classified as unilateral and bilateral. Unilateral UDT is more common than bilateral UDT. There is a very rare condition in which both testicles are on the same side and have not descended.We report in this article a 3 years old boy presenting with a chief complaint of bilateral testicular mass absence. Diagnostic evaluation revealed absent testes in the scrota. Exploring laparoscopy was performed and a rare case of UDT was diagnosed, in which both testicles were on the left side of the pelvis with two separate spermatic cord. The shorter spermatic cord was fixed on the left scrotum and the longer one was fixed on the right side. The testes were normal in follow up examinations.
