Abstract
- Segmental testicular infarction is an uncommon and usually idiopathic phenomenon. Some case reports have linked segmental infarction to sickle cell anemia, hypersensitivity angiitis, polycythemia, and an idiopathic cause. Magnetic resonance imaginge (MRI) might be of great diagnostic value as the ischemic lesions have a characteristic pattern. Nonetheless, as its clinical and radiological presentation may resemble testicular tumors, a definite diagnosis can only be established following surgery. We report a case of testicular infarction which presented as a malignancy even in the frozen biopsy.
