Splenogonadal fusion: a very rare congenital anomaly in the differential diagnosis of a testicular mass.
Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by congenital fusion between the spleen and testicular tissue. In the literature, there are approximately 175 reported cases, and most of them are associated with cryptorchidism. In this article, we report an unusual case of splenogonadal fusion that was pre-diagnosed as a solid testicular mass in a patient who underwent orchiectomy.

Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare cause of testicular mass with the vast majority of cases presenting in men under the age of 30 and represents a diagnostic challenge. Discontinuous splenogonadal fusion presenting as a new testicular mass in a 55-year-old man is discussed to aid other surgeons in diagnosing this condition.

متن کاملSplenogonadal fusion and sex reversal.
Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital malformation where an abnormal union occurs between the spleen and gonad or mesonephric derivatives. Although it occurs in females it is much less prevalent than in males (male:female ratio, 16:1), but this may partly be because of the inaccessibility of the female gonads leading to under-diagnosis. To our knowledge this is the first case of splenogonad...
متن کاملSplenogonadal fusion: a case report.
Splenogonodal fusion is a rare congenital abnormality. We present the case of a continuous splenogonadal fusion diagnosed in the course of a laparoscopy for left non-palpable testis in a 1-year-old boy. This case illustrates that even though testicular salvage is the recommended approach, various anatomical features might preclude conservation.
