Abstract

Abstract Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital abnormality that affects mostly the male gender, and may present as cryptorchidism.

The authors present two case reports concerning the two types of splenogonadal fusion described, with a subsequent literature review, alerting for the clinical presentations and available complementary exams.
