Abstract

TRIAS PUIG-SUREDA, I. et al. Splenogonadal fusion: Report of a case. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2007, vol.31, n.5, pp.559-561. ISSN 0210-4806.

We present a new case of splenogonadal fusion in a 27 years old male. This anomaly is the result of an embryological fusion between gonad and spleen. Occasionally there is an association with other congenital alterations (peromelia). Usually it occurs in the left scrotum and, although described in both sexes, it is more frequent in males. Its only symptom is palpable tumor and this makes the surgical approach the only way to make the diagnosis. A frozen section study can avoid unnecessary radical surgery.

Keywords : Splenic ectopy; Splenogonadal fusion.
