A case report of a traumatic dislocation of the testis is described. The patient was a 19-year-old man whose perineum received a high speed impact against the smooth wedge shape of the gasoline tank in a motor cycle accident. Immediate surgical replacement of the testis was successfully performed. ⋯ According to the classification of Alyea, 4 testes (7.3%) were in the pubic, 1 (1.8%) in the penile, 0 in the crural, 24 (43.6%) in the inguinal, 1 (1.8%) in the perineal, 4 (7.3%) in the inguinal canal, 4 (7.3%) in the abdomen, and 0 in the femoral canal. Seventeen (30.9%) testes had compound dislocation. Recent reports reveal an increased number of motor cycle accidents, and age distribution has its peak incidence at the ages of 20-29 (34%).
