Duplicate testicular veins associated with other anomalies of the testicular arteries were observed during dissection of the posterior abdominal wall in a 90-year-old Japanese male cadaver. The right testicular vein was composed of the medial and lateral testicular veins. The medial testicular vein drained into the inferior vena cava, whereas the Lateral testicular vein drained into the confluence of the inferior vena. cava and right renal vein. Several anastomosing branches were seen between the medial. and lateral testicular veins. The left testicular vein was formed after the medial. and lateral venous trunks joined and drained into the ipsilateral renal vein. The right testicular artery originated from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta at the Level. of the Left renal artery, passed posterior to the inferior vena. cava, and accompanied the right lateral testicular vein running downwards. The left testicular artery arose from the abdominal aorta at a level of 5 cm below the origin of the right testicular artery, and then ran downwards accompanied by the media[ trunk of the left testicular vein.
