Abstract
Crossed testicular ectopia (CTE)/transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare condition
occurring in only 1 in 4 million male patients, in which both testes migrate toward
the same hemiscrotum.
We report on two cases of TTE in first degree cousins (1 + 3 years of age).
Both presented with right nonpalpable testis. On diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance
imaging, the right testis was located above the left testis in both patients. Right
orchiopexy was performed after passing the right testis through the median raphe of
the scrotum followed by ipsilateral left scrotal orchiopexy.
