Abstract
Splenogonadal fusion is a rare developmental anomaly resulting from abnormal fusion of splenic and gonadal anlagen in utero [10]. A 9-month-old male presenting with the signs and symptoms of an irreducible left inguinal hernia underwent inguinal exploration, and splenic tissue was found adjacent to the left testis and over the spermatic cord structures. Tissue biopsy and technetium 99m Tc-sulfur colloid scanning confirmed the diagnosis of discontinuous-type splenogonadal fusion. The splenic tissue was later removed without complications. The embryology, pathology, and clinical features of this anomaly are summarized with a brief review of the literature.
