    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Medical Genetics
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • It involves the abnormal connection between the spleen and the gonads.
    • The discontinuous type is less common than the continuous type.

    Observation:

    • A case of splenogonadal fusion of the discontinuous type was observed in a 7-year-old boy.
    • The patient presented with clinical features requiring differential diagnosis.
    • Literature review on common clinical features was conducted.

    Findings:

    • The study reports a rare case of discontinuous splenogonadal fusion.
    • Clinical features of this malformation were reviewed.
    • The condition's relevance in differential diagnosis of scrotal tumors was discussed.

    Implications:

    • Splenogonadal fusion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric scrotal masses.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Understanding this rare anomaly aids pediatric surgeons and urologists.
