Splenogonadal fusion. A case report.

Abstract

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare anomaly consisted of abnormal connection between spleen and gonad or derivatives of the mesonephros. It is usually presented as a painless scrotal mass in children, adolescents or men younger than 25 yoa. In most of the cases the diagnosis is made at pathologic examination of the removed tissue. The scarceness of reports in the literature underlines the rarity of this entity. Here we report a case of splenogonadal fusion in a 19-year-old male with a torsed testicle and history of polytrauma.
