Abstract

We report 2 cases of torsion of scrotal malignant tumors of the testis. A review of the literature disclosed several instances of torsion of intra-abdominal testicles with malignant tumors and only 1 case of a scrotal testis. The association of torsion and tumor in these cases may represent 2 manifestations of a dysplastic gonad.
