    <abstract language="eng">Polyorchidism is an uncommon pediatric urological condition, having it in a down syndrome patient with bilateral cryptorchidism is tremendously rare. In this case report, a five-year old child with down syndrome was examined and admitted for further evaluation of bilateral undescended testicles. At the time of surgery, a third testicle was excised and sent to pathology department to exclude any type of cancer. The pathologist ruled out malignancy and confirmed the presence of atrophied testicular tissue. This is a rare case of undescended atrophied third testicle in a down syndrome child.</abstract>
