This is the second most common congenital anomaly seen. The incidence was 1 in 250 or 300 cases two decades back. However recent data suggest an increase of 1 in 50 cases in the recent years.2 This anomaly has been associated with undescended testis in about 5% of the population.3 Does it all seem so simple or is there anything lurking behind these features.
