Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is fusion between spleen and gonad. According to the literature 37% of them had unnecessary orchiectomy. We present a patient with splenogonadal fusion in undescended testis, who was preserved from unnecessary orchiectomy. [Cukurova Med J 2013; 38(4.000): 787-790]
