摘要

Dear Editor, Polyorchidism refers to the presence of more than two testicles.Blasius described it for the first time in 1670 as an incidental finding in an autopsy,while Lane was the one who performed the first histological description of a supernumerary testis in 1895.1,2 Before imaging diagnosis techniques,this condition could only be verified under surgical exploration.Nowadays,current imaging techniques have increased the number of diagnosis of this anatomical variation.On the other hand,there is still a certain group of physicians who use histological analysis as the unique way to diagnosis.3
