A Case of Idiopathic Spontaneous Intratesticular Hemorrhage

A 21-year-old man presented with acute-onset left lower abdominal pain that had initially developed 8 hours earlier. He was not given any medication including anti-coagulants. He denied trauma. On palpation, the left testis was slightly swollen and showed tenderness. The suspected diagnosis was testicular torsion, and surgical exploration was indicated. On visual inspection, the whole testis was black. The spermatic cord was neither distorted nor black. Testicular torsion could not be completely ruled out; thus, left orchiectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed diffuse intratesticular hemorrhage without the necrosis of seminiferous tubular cells. We encountered a case of idiopathic spontaneous intratesticular hemorrhage.
