title: Torsion of an intraabdominal testis tumor presenting as an acute abdomen.
abstract: Torsion of an intraabdominal testicular tumor is a rare preoperative diagnosis. An increased diagnostic yield is dependent on an expedient and comprehensive preoperative evaluation. This consists of a detailed past surgical history, a thorough physical examination, and close inspection of the preoperative abdominal films. An illustrated case report is presented.
