Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Scrotoschisis is a congenital extrusion of the testis through a defect in the scrotum. The condition is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We present 2 full term neonates one of whom had bilateral and the other right scrotoschisis and a contralateral communicating hydrocele. They presented at the ages of 7 and 22 days, as referral from rural health centers. They both had successful repair. Testes were in the scrotum after 1 year and 6 months follow-up, respectively. Long term follows up and further evaluations are, therefore, required.

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly in which an abnormal attachment found between splenic tissue and gonads or mesonephric derivatives. There are two anatomic types: continuous and discontinuous. It is commonly mistaken for testicular tumor. We report the case of a 10-year-old child in whom an inguinal mass indicated surgical exploration. The ectopic tissue was completely removed with preservation of the testis. Histopathological examination was reported as ectopic splenic tissue. Splenogonadal fusion is a benign lesion, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of testicular masses. |
