Sonographic findings in splenogonadal fusion

Case of the Month #173: Splenogonadal Fusion

“…Ultrasonographic studies of continuous-type SGFs have shown it possible to adequately ultrasound the surrounding splenic tissue and vasculature originating from the splenic hilum [2,8]. A capsulated homogenous hypoechoic area combined with a clearly visible testicular parenchyma may suggest the possibility of surrounding splenic tissue [9]. Colour Doppler may be used to provide additional information on the vasculature surrounding and originating from the testes.…”
