Abstract
An ectopic testis is any testis that presents outside the line of its normal descent after exiting the
external inguinal ring. Sites for ectopic testes include the superficial inguinal pouch of Denis Browne,
femoral, suprapubic, contralateral hemiscrotum, perineum and pubopenile region. This case
describes yet another rare site of ectopic testis in an 11 year boy. The diagnosis was essentially
clinical complimented by ultrasonography. Scrotal repositioning was successfully achieved.
