Abstract:
The splenogonadal fusion is a rare but benign anomaly. The diagnosis is usually given at operation or histologically after operation. In about 50% of the patients who undergo surgery for scrotal tumor, an unnecessary orchidectomy is performed due to clinical unawareness of this rare condition. A case of splenogonadal fusion belonging to the continuous type is presented to illustrate problems of this anomaly and point out the importance of intraoperative microscopic sections.
