Traumatic dislocation of the testis

We report on a patient having testis dislocated into the superficial crus caused by an accident on a fishing boat. On physical examination, the left hemiscrotum was empty, and a painful mass was palpable inside the left thigh. On sonography, the testis appeared to be normal. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that the mass was located between subcutaneous tissue and muscle layer of the thigh. Surgical intervention was performed, and the left testis was found within the subcutaneous tissue inside the thigh, with slight torsion of the spermatic cord. The testis was fixed in the left hemiscrotum. To our knowledge, traumatic dislocation of the testis into the superficial crus is rare, and only 2 cases have been reported.
