Abstract

Introduction: Testicular infarction in the absence of torsion is a rare idiopathic lesion and usually develops spontaneously. It may occasionally be associated with vasculitis, cholesterol emboli, malakoplakia, protein S or antithrombin III deficiency. We report a case of hemorrhagic testicular infarction developing in a 17-year-old male patient with no definitive etiology, despite receiving prophylactic anticoagulant therapy. Color Doppler sonography on testis demonstrated no blood flow and patient underwent scrotal exploration with subsequent orchidectomy. Histopathological examination revealed diffuse hemorrhagic infarction of the left testicle.

Özet

Torsiyon olmaksızın gelişen testiküler infarkt ender olup, genellikle idiyopatik ve kendiliğinden gelişir. Ender olarak, vaskülit, kolesterol embolisi, malakoplaki, protein S veya antitrombin III eksikliği ile ilişkili olabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, 17 yaşında erkek hastada kesin bir etiyoloji olmadan ve profilaktik antikoagülan tedavi altında iken gelişen hemorajik testiküler infarkt olgusu sunuldu. Testiküler renkli Doppler ultrasonografi ile kan akımı olmadığı gösterildi ve skrotal eksplorasyon sonrası hastaya orşiyektomi uygulandı. Histopatolojik inceleme sol testiste yaygın hemorajik infarkt ile uyumlu idi.
