主　　题：POLYORCHIDISM 

摘      要：Dear Editor, We would like to present a rare case ofpolyorchidism. Polyorchidism is an unusual abnormality of the genital tract and until date, there are approximately 178 case reports of polyorchidism in the literature？ However, the most of patients are asymptomatic and usually diagnosed incidentally. Some may present as inguinal hernia （30%）, maldescended testis （15% to 30%）, testicular torsion （13%） and hydrocele （9%）, varicocele （1%）, hypospadias （〈1%）, anomalous urogenital union （〈1%）, and malignancy （〈1%）.2 Management of polyorchidism is still controversial. Important factors of polyorchidism management are testis location, size and anatomical organization of the testicular drainage system and the age of the patient.
