摘要
Approximately 100 cases of polyorchidism have been reported in the literature. Management remains controversial especially if there is no associated abnormality identified. We report a case of triorchidism confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI). The patient has been managed conservatively and remains under regular radiological follow-up with MRI.
