Case with a high-positioned origin of the testicular artery.

In a Japanese male, the left testicular artery originated from the aorta as high as 1 cm cranial to the origin of the left inferior phrenic artery. The testicular artery emitted two branches, one to the costal part of the diaphragm and the other to the suprarenal gland. This testicular artery is the most highly positioned one that has ever been reported.
