Splenogonadal fusion: A case series of two challenging diagnoses

Abstract

Abstract Splenogonadal fusion is an abnormal connection between the spleen and gonads. This rare entity can be easily confused with testicular tumors. It usually accompanies congenital malformations, such as cryptorchidism, making diagnosis more difficult. Surgeons must be aware of this entity to avoid unnecessary orchiectomy. In some cases, biopsy may help with diagnosis.
