Bilateral extracorporeal testicular ectopia: An extremely rare congenital anomaly

We present the case of an 8-hour-old neonate with bilateral extrusion of the testis through an abnormal opening in the anterior scrotal wall. Physical examination revealed protrusion of the testes, epididymis and distal spermatic cords through a congenital anterior scrotal wall defect. All other findings were normal. After exploring the scrotum, orchidopexy was performed and the scrotal wall defect closed. At 3 and 6 months follow up, the testes were normal and located within the scrotum. The immediate outcome was excellent, but the long-term results remain to be seen. The related literature was reviewed.
