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.
我们报告一例11岁男孩，其左侧阴囊出现无痛性肿块，已持续一年。临床检查和诊断方法显示左侧睾丸有实性肿块。进行了探查，发现完全性脾性腺融合。异位脾组织被完全切除，睾丸得以保留。脾性腺融合在小儿外科文献中是一种罕见且报道较少的情况。这是我们首次遇到这种病症。在此简要介绍一下文献综述。
