Abstract

A 36 year-old man after tests for assessing male infertility wasdiagnosed with primary infertility, bilateral cryptorchidism, nonobstructive azoospermia and discontinuous splenogonadal fusion.Carcinoma in situ was found in his left testicle, which was intraabdominal and associated with splenogonadal fusion. To ourknowledge, this is the fourth case of splenogonadal fusion associatedwith testicular cancer reported. One should always bear in mind thepossibility of this association for the left cryptorchid testicle.
