DISCONTINUOUS SPLENOGONADAL FUSION MIMICKING TESTICULAR-TUMOR

The fusion between splenic tissue and the gonads or derivatives of the mesonephros is a rare congenital anomaly. This was first described by Pommer in 1887. The diagnosis is usually made at operation or autopsy . Here we present a case of left splenotesticular fusion where the dia gnosis was made intraoperatively and the testis was saved. The case is discussed with a review of the literature.
