Triorchidism is a rare congenital abnormality of the genitourinary tract. The first surgical case was described in 1895 by Lane. The authors report an interesting case of 2 separate right testes found when a left twisted testis was removed. The generally endorsed necessity to remove the duplicate testis in triorchidism is discussed. This procedure has been recommended because of the risk of torsion.

D013086 Spermatic Cord Torsion The twisting of the SPERMATIC CORD due to an anatomical abnormality that left the TESTIS mobile and dangling in the SCROTUM. The initial effect of testicular torsion is obstruction of venous return. Depending on the duration and degree of cord rotation, testicular symptoms range from EDEMA to interrupted arterial flow and testicular pain. If blood flow to testis is absent for 4 to 6 h, SPERMATOGENESIS may be permanently lost.
