Scrotal orchidopexy for perineal ectopic testis.

Perineal ectopic testis (PET) is a rare form of testicular migration abnormality. We report a case of neonatal PET diagnosis and early management. In reported cases, diagnosis is often late, well after the age of 1 year, and surgery is conventionally performed by an inguinal and scrotal approach. Here, surgery consisted of scrotal orchidopexy, with placement in the dartos, at the age of 6 months. Follow-up was uncomplicated. This approach has not been reported for this form of ectopy, but seems perfectly suitable. There is no advantage to delaying the treatment of this type of ectopy.
