title: Segmental testicular infarction.
abstract: We report a case of segmental testicular infarction occurring in a 24-year-old African Malian man who presented with a complaint of sudden and severe left testicular pain for 4 days. Scrotal ultrasound showed a hypoechoic mass in the left testicle. The hypoechoic area demonstrated no blood flow in colour Doppler mode. The patient underwent a left testicular exploration. A partial orchiectomy was performed with complete excision of the lesion. Pathological evaluation revealed a segmental testicular haemorrhagic infarction.
