Abstract
After reviewing the proposed theories, we propose a unifying theory, based on current knowledge of testicular descent, where testicular ectopia can be explained by a) anomalous attachment of the gubernaculum to the anterior abdominal wall during transabdominal descent, or b) aberrant migration of the gubernaculum during the inguinoscrotal phase of testicular descent.
