Abstract

In the following article the description of four cases of congenital testicular testis, which attend to be under our observation, is reported. Moreover, the diagnostic process is discussed, with particular reference to echography. Afterwards, the method for early surgical exploration is evaluated. The survey concludes that echographic inquiry does not have to be judged indispensable.
