A new case of splenic-gonadal fusion in an 8-year-old boy is reported in which the sonographic findings were highly suggestive to include the condition in the differential diagnosis. A separate mass with medium-level echoes and a homogeneous echo texture, surrounded by a clearly visible echogenic capsule, was found in contact with the lower pole of the left testis. The particular character of this congenital anomaly is emphasized and the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
