Summary

Sudden scrotal pain in a young male was diagnosed as testicular infarction using enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Surgical intervention and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, with follow-up MRI showing a normal testis.

Testes: Histology

A tough, fibrous membrane, the tunica albuginea, covers the testes, extending inward to form fibrous partitions or septa, dividing them into internal compartments called lobules. Each lobule has 1 to 3 tightly coiled seminiferous tubules where sperm production occurs. These tubules merge into a tubular network at the back of the testis, known as the rete testis. It connects to 15 to 20 efferent ductules, leading to the epididymis.
The spermatogenic cells, responsible for producing sperm, are...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • A 31-year-old male presented with acute left scrotal pain.
  • Initial examinations, including scrotal assessment and blood work, were unremarkable.
  • Symptoms persisted for one week prior to hospital visit.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the cause of acute scrotal pain and testicular lesion.
  • To diagnose and manage suspected segmental testicular infarction.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical intervention.

Summary:

  • Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a well-defined, avascular lesion in the left testis with rim enhancement.
  • Surgical procedures included left testicular biopsy and bilateral orchiopexy.
  • Pathological examination confirmed testicular infarction as the diagnosis.

  • Post-operative enhanced MRI at one month demonstrated a normal testicular appearance.

    • Impact:

    • This case highlights the utility of enhanced MRI in diagnosing testicular infarction.
    • It underscores the importance of timely surgical and pathological evaluation for scrotal pain.
    • Successful management led to a full recovery with normal testicular morphology on follow-up imaging.
