The testis is rarely encountered within the organs prolapsed outside the abdominal wall defect of patients with gastroschisis. Optimal treatment strategy of this unusual type of cryptorchidism remains undefined, with less than 30 cases reported to date. We describe a new case where simple relocation of the testis into the abdomen was followed by spontaneous testicular descent. Additionally, he developed a urinary calculus impacted in the navicular fossa 4 years later. Given the rarity of the 2 conditions, the probability of their co-occurrence is exceptionally rare, especially considering that they seem to be causally and temporally unrelated to one another.
