Abstract:
Both transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) and splenogonadal fusion (SGF) are rare congenital abnormalities. We report a case with both TTE and SGF, simultaneously. As far as we know, this is the first reported case. In order to identify a case of TTE or SGF, it is necessary to consider that the testes and ectopic spleens have similar patterns on ultrasonograph and magnetic resonance imaging.
