Variations in the origin and course of testicular artery, particularly in relation to renal and suprarenal vessels, are of significance in new operative techniques on abdomen. In the present study we investigated the origin and course of testicular arteries in 32 (64 sides) adult males cadavers at Dr. VRK Women's Medical College from 2010-2018. The cadavers were dissected and all the branches of abdominal aorta were cleaned. The specimens were photographed and findings were appropriately documented with appropriate measurements. Out of 32 cadavers (64 sides) studied, 59 testicular arteries showed normal origin and course. However, 5 cases revealed aberrant origin or anomalous course of testicular artery (7.8%). Out of which, 3 testicular arteries (2 right sides and 1 left side) were seen arising from the renal artery/ accessory renal artery (4.68%)
