splenogonadal fusion operated as a malignant tumor
Authors
abstract
splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital malformation whereby the splenic tissue is found attached or surrounded by the testis, and presents in both continuous and discontinuous forms. splenogonadal fusion may be misinterpreted as a primary malignant testicular or an adenomatoid tumor. knowledge about the existence of such an entity is essential in order to preserve the testis during surgical operation. we describe a case of splenogonadal fusion in a young man with bilateral normal oriented scrotal testis.

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.

CASE REPORT A 2-week-old boy was referred to our hospital for evaluation of left cryptorchidism. He was a result of a full-term normal pregnancy. The infant was well developed proportional to his age. On genital examination, the right testis was in normal size and located in the scrotum, but the left testis was not palpable in the scrotum. No other physical abnormalities were detected. Outpatie...

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare entity with approximately 150 reported cases until the year 2005. The entity is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is fusion of splenic and gonadal anlagen or mesonephric derivatives. Splenogonadal fusion has two continuous and discontinuous types. About ten cases have been reported to be associated with bilateral cryptorchidism in literature. Very few cases...

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...
