Clinical examination revealed swelling was not palpable separately left at periphery hemiscrotum. Ultrasound imaging MRI testes hemiscrotum, hypoplastic patent process vaginalis non-obstructive, non-strangulated Surgical intervention transeptal orchidodpexy advised but performed due to patient’s unwillingness. Hence, recommended annual follow-up same. Conclusion The report emphasizes that though anomaly, it should be considered differential diagnosis patients absent and/or infertility, detailed biochemical investigation employed considering wide spectrum conditions.
