Abstract:
A case of ectopic splenic tissue in the testicle is reported. This congenital anomaly has only ever been seen in the left scrotal compartment. The ectopic splenic tissue is separated from the testicle by a fibrotic capsule. When accessory splenic tissue is suspected on examination of a testicular biopsy a frozen section should be performed; orchiectomy can then often be avoided.
