Bilateral ectopic femoral testes: A rare cause of empty scrotum.

Empty scrotum is a relatively rare entity, with few cases reported in the literature, so far; if it coexists with bilateral ectopic femoral testes, it then constitutes an extremely rare congenital abnormality. We report a case of empty scrotum revealed at the first physical examination of a neonate. The scrotum appeared empty and no testes could be palpated in the scrotum or the inguinal canal. Two solitary, oval masses were palpable laterally of each hemiscrotum, close to femoral canal and the diagnosis of bilateral femoral ectopic testes was confirmed by the consultant pediatric surgeon.
