OBJECTIVE: To present the clinical case of a patient with right testicular dislocation, which warranted inguinal exploration and right transscrotal orchidopexy. BACKGROUND: Testicular dislocation is rare, and approximately 200 cases have been reported in the medical literature since its first description in 1818; In Guatemala there is only one publication on the subject, which means that the clinical case presented provides information on the subject. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The case is presented with clinical photographs of a young patient, who had a motorcycle accident suffering a direct injury to the genital region against the gas tank, causing the right testicular dislocation, being handled surgically. RESULTS: In patients with early diagnosis, they present adequate post-surgical evolution, without long-term complications during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Although it is a rare disease, the increase in the use of motorcycles as a means of transportation in our country predisposes an increase in injuries to the external genitalia.
