A case report illustrating the value of spleen scanning in the diagnosis of a rare anomaly characterized by fusion of the spleen and left testis is described. This malformation results from faulty organogenesis during the fifth to the eighth week of fetal development. Only 65 cases have been reported in the world literature. In most instances, the anomaly is recognized as an incidental finding at autopsy or at surgical exploration of the abdomen. In 20% of cases the anomaly is associated with osseous malformations such as peromelia, ectromelia, micrognathia, and talipes.
本文描述了一例病例报告，该报告说明了脾脏扫描在诊断一种以脾脏与左侧睾丸融合为特征的罕见畸形中的价值。这种畸形是由胎儿发育第五至八周期间器官发生错误所致。世界文献中仅报道了65例。在大多数情况下，这种畸形是在尸检或腹部手术探查时偶然发现的。在20%的病例中，这种畸形与诸如四肢不全、肢体短缺、小颌畸形和畸形足等骨骼畸形有关。
