Abstract

The aim of the study was to describe a rare case of multiple anomalies of the cardiovascular, peripheral nervous and reproductive systems of the human body.

Material and methods. A corpse of a man of 52 years old, fixed with a 10% formalin solution, was dissected. In the course of the study, morphometric measurements of anatomical objects were performed using a caliper. From the additional third testicle, a tissue fragment 0.5×0.5×0.5 cm in size was excised, additionally fixed in a 10% neutral formalin solution for 24 hours, then conducted on alcohols of ascending concentration and poured into paraffin. Sections 5 μm thick were stained with hematoxylin and eosin.

Results. A bilateral anomaly of the external carotid artery was found, consisting in the dystopia of its branches and the presence of atypical additional vessels, blood supplying the larynx and trachea. A bilateral variant of the sublingual nerve topography was observed. A bilateral anomaly of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the femur was recorded. The case of the third additional testicle dystopia is described.

Сonclusion. Discovered multiple variants of blood vessel anomalies, peripheral nerves and internal genital organs in one individual are, apparently, evidence of various violations occurring in the embryonic period. The findings should be taken into account in cardiovascular, neurological and andrological practice.
