Abstract
Segmental infarction of the testis represents a rare entity. To our kn owledge 11 cases have been reported in the literature. We report 4 add itional cases of segmental testicular infarction masquerading as testi s tumors. Inability to distinguish these benign lesions from malignant testis tumors resulted in orchiectomy in all 4 cases.
