Abstract
We report on 7 patients with splenogonadal fusion and review the literature on this unusual condition. The medical records of patients diagnosed with splenogonadal fusion between 1989 and 1994 at 4 institutions were retrospectively reviewed. All 7 patients were properly diagnosed at surgery and the testes were salvaged in 5. In 1 intersex patient gonadectomy was appropriate. Splenogonadal fusion is a rare condition. Familiarity with this lesion allows for intraoperative diagnosis and testicular salvage.
