Abdullah Waleed Aldughiman, Hossam S El-tholoth, Abdulrhman Alsunbul, Elsayed Badawy, Abdulrhman AlelaiwaiUrology Annals 2020 12(4):385-387 Polyorchidism is a very rare embryological anomaly characterized by the presence of extra number of testes with the usual presentation of two homolateral and one contralateral testis and no clear guidelines for management. Herein, we present a 14yearold case with left supernumerary testes presented with discomfort and painless mass, diagnosed by US and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Conservative treatment was implemented, in the form of ultrasound followup imaging (every 6–12 months) with selfscrotal examination every month.
