    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Genetics
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Splenic-gonadal fusion is a rare congenital malformation involving the spleen and gonads.
    • It is often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during diagnostic procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a case of splenic-gonadal fusion.
    • To emphasize its significance as a rare differential diagnosis for testicular tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report

    Main Results:

    • The splenic-gonadal fusion was discovered incidentally.
    • The ectopic spleen attached to the left testis mimicked a left-sided testicular tumor.

    Conclusions:

    • Splenic-gonadal fusion is a rare condition.
    • It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of testicular masses, particularly when ectopic splenic tissue is present.
