title: Segmental infarction of the testicle: atypical presentation of a testicular mass.
abstract: Segmental infarction of the testis represents a rare entity. To our knowledge 11 cases have been reported in the literature. We report 4 additional cases of segmental testicular infarction masquerading as testis tumors. Inability to distinguish these benign lesions from malignant testis tumors resulted in orchiectomy in all 4 cases.
