Source abstract
Ectopic Splenic tissue is often found in medical literature. It is usually found near the main spleen, however, there are also some atypical areas are involved like the scrotum which is called splenogonadal fusion. The diagnosis is usually made incidentally. Although splenogonadal fusion is usually seen in children, cases have also been reported in adults. Due to the lack of radiological features, the initial diagnosis is often difficult as It mimic some other pathologies, especially cancer. In this case we present a case with left testicular mass thought to be testicular malignancy but diagnosed through histopathology as splenogonadal fusion.
