Segmental testicular infarction is a rare condition. Patients present with clinical features similar to torsion and testicular tumors, with most undergoing surgery. A 55-year-old male patient presented with left scrotal pain. We did a Doppler ultrasonogram and magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose his condition and rule out testicular torsion and tumor. We decided not to operate and asked the patient for follow-up. There was no pain in the left testis, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a reduction in the left testicular lesion after 4 months.
