Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital malformation where an abnormal union occurs between the spleen and gonad or mesonephric derivatives. Although it occurs in females it is much less prevalent than in males (male:female ratio, 16:1), but this may partly be because of the inaccessibility of the female gonads leading to under-diagnosis. To our knowledge this is the first case of splenogonad...

Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital abnormality that affects children of both genders. Very few cases of SGF have been diagnosed preoperatively. In this study, the surgical findings and laparoscopic treatment of four children with SGF associated with intra-abdominal cryptorchidism are described. Laparoscopy was demonstrated to be the only accurate exploratory procedure for the diagn...

Splenogonadal fusion is a very rare congenital anomaly which often manifests as a scrotal mass and rarely as cryptorchidism. It can be of continuous and discontinuous type based on the presence of a band of connecting splenic tissue. We report a rare case of discontinuous type of splenogonadal fusion in an adolescent male presenting as cryptorchidism. We emphasize the computed tomographic findi...

OBJECTIVE Present the case of a patient with a discontinuous intrabdominal splenogonadal fusion with an associated germ cell tumor. METHODS A case of a man of 29 years with bilateral cryptorchidism and left intra-abdominal discontinuous splenogonadal fusion associated with seminoma as an accidental finding in the context of a robotic pyeloplasty due to ipsilateral ureteropelvic junction sten...

PURPOSE We reviewed the presentation and clinical findings in an unusual scrotal mass seen in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS This review involves a detailed description of 2 cases of splenogonadal fusion, and a complete survey and assessment of the published literature on this subject. RESULTS A detailed assessment of 137 cases (135 previously reported, 2 added) of splenogonadal fusion was...

Introduction: Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly characterized with anomalous fusion of the spleen and the gonad or mesonephric derivatives. Herein, we report the case of a 7-month-old boy with unusual presentation of splenogonadal fusion. Case Presentation</...

A case of discontinuous splenogonadal fusion, diagnosed pre-operatively as a testicular tumor, is described. The condition and potential pre-operative diagnostic methods are explored.
