| Popis: | Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is abnormal adhesion between splenic tissue and gonads. Several patients with cryptorchidism associated with this anomaly have undergone orchiectomy because of the suspicion of tumors. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) is useful in differentiating between SGF and tumors, and in evaluating the vasculature of the SGF. We report a boy with an abdominal testis associated with SGF. Based on the CT findings, we successfully performed Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy. To the best of our knowledge, no SGF cases in which Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy could salvage the testis without testicular atrophy have been previously reported. |
