The difference between the testicular ectopia and cryptorchidism (or hidden testicle) is that in the latter case the testicle has not descended completely, so not in its normal position within the scrotum either.

Usually develops during the course of puberty, most often on the left side of the scrotum, and although it is usually not harmful, in some people it can damage the testicles or decrease sperm production.
