Abstract

Background Post-traumatic testicular dislocation is a very rare condition. In this case report, we present the delayed diagnosis and successful surgical treatment of a testicular dislocation following a motorcycle accident. Case presentation A 21-year-old male underwent surgery for a left testicular hematoma following a motorcycle accident, during which the right testis was found to be absent from the scrotum. Eight months after the trauma, he presented with pain in the medial aspect of the right thigh. Imaging revealed the right testis located subcutaneously in the proximal medial thigh. Open surgery successfully relocated the testis into the scrotum. Conclusion Traumatic testicular dislocation is a rare entity that may easily be overlooked in emergency department settings. Despite delayed diagnosis, testicular function can be preserved with an appropriate surgical approach.
