The left half of the scrotum was empty, and at the root of the penis there was a swelling the size of a walnut, covered with normal skin, and containing an oval body about four-fifths the size of the testicle, but softer in constituency.

The patient claimed that this swelling had been present since childhood.

His sexual power had been normal, but for the past six months he had been impotent.

In childhood the patient had a small inguinal hernia, and Popoff thought this caused the displacement of the testicle.
A somewhat similar case occurred in the Hotel-Dieu, Paris.

Through the agency of compression one of the testes was forced along the corpus cavernosum under the skin as far as the glans penis.
