title: Splenogonadal fusion: a case report.
abstract: Splenogonodal fusion is a rare congenital abnormality. We present the case of a continuous splenogonadal fusion diagnosed in the course of a laparoscopy for left non-palpable testis in a 1-year-old boy. This case illustrates that even though testicular salvage is the recommended approach, various anatomical features might preclude conservation.
