Splenogonadal fusion: a radiologic-pathologic correlation and review of the literature

Abstract

We present the case of a 29-year-old male who presented to his General Practitioner with a left testicular lump. Scrotal ultrasound examination revealed 4 well-defined, homogenous, mildly hypoechoic extratesticular mass lesions. He was referred for an urgent urological opinion and underwent local excision. Histologic analysis revealed splenic tissue resulting in the diagnosis of splenogonadal fusion.
