Abstract

Crossed or transverse ectopic testis is a rare anomaly of testicular descent. It has been noted that fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the world literature. In this paper, we report a new case found in a 6-month-old infant operated on in West Africa for an obstructed right inguinoscrotal hernia.
