Segmental testicular infarction, a rare condition, was diagnosed in a child presenting with acute scrotal pain. Surgical intervention and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, leading to a full recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Segmental testicular infarction (STI) is a rare condition characterized by localized ischemic necrosis of testicular tissue.
  • It can present with acute scrotal pain and swelling, mimicking other common pediatric scrotal emergencies.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old boy presented with acute left hemiscrotal pain and swelling.
  • Clinical examination revealed left testicular tenderness without an intratesticular mass.
  • Color Doppler ultrasonography identified a well-circumscribed avascular lesion in the upper pole of the left testis.

Findings:

  • Partial orchidectomy was performed for diagnosis and management.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed segmental testicular infarction.
  • The patient experienced a satisfactory recovery following the surgical procedure.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering segmental testicular infarction in the differential diagnosis of acute scrotal pain in children.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical management, such as partial orchidectomy, can lead to favorable outcomes.
  • Reviewing this rare entity and relevant literature aids in understanding and managing pediatric testicular emergencies.
