We report a case of an 11-year-old boy who presented with a painless left scrotal
mass of one year's duration. Clinical examination and diagnostic modalities indicated
a solid left testicular mass. Exploration was done and a complete splenogonadal fusion
was found. The ectopic splenic tissue was completely removed with preservation of
the testis. Splenogonadal fusion is a rare and infrequently reported entity in the
paediatric surgical literature. This was our first encounter with this condition.
A review of the literature is briefly presented here.
