The thirty-ninth reported case of torsion of an intra-abdominal testicle is described in a neonate. The gonad was excised as is recommended because of the high incidence of malignancy (60% of 37 cases). Torsion of an intra-abdominal testicle should be considered where an abdominal mass with calcification is found in an infant with undescended testis. Ultrasonography improves the diagnostic accuracy in infants because of the cystic nature of these masses in this age group.
本文描述了一名新生儿中报告的第39例腹腔内睾丸扭转病例。由于恶性肿瘤发生率高（37例中有60%），按照建议切除了性腺。对于隐睾婴儿中发现有钙化的腹部肿块时，应考虑腹腔内睾丸扭转。由于该年龄组这些肿块的囊性性质，超声检查提高了婴儿的诊断准确性。
