Abstract

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the rare cause of the segmental in- farct, among the differential diagnosis of acute scrotum. A 32-year-old patient was admitted to our clinic with scrotal pain. Radiological ex- amination revealed an avascular lesion in the left testis. Tumor markers were negative. We performed partial orchiectomy, and pathology results showed segmental infarction of the left testis. In the differential diagnosis of acute scrotum, clinical and radiological findings should be evaluated together because segmental infarction can also be one of the reasons. Thus, unnecessary orchiectomy may be avoided. In addition, clinical nonprogressive follow-up may also be considered

Özet

Bu çalışmada nadir rastlanan segmental enfarktın, akut skrotumunayırıcı tanıları arasında değerlendirmesini amaçladık. Ani skrotalağrı nedeniyle başvuran 32 yaşındaki hastanın radyolojik değerlendirmesonucu testiste kanlanmayan kitle tespit edilmiş.Tümör markırlarınegatif olan hastaya parsiyel orşiektomi yapılmış.Segmentalenfarkt tespit edilmiş. Akut skrotumun klinik ve radyolojik bulgularbirlikte değerlendirilerek ayırıcı tanılar arasında segmental enfarktda olabileceği göz önünde bulundurularak gereksiz orşiektomilerinönüne geçilmelidir. Bu tür hastalarda progresyon yoksa takip edilebileceğide akılda tutulmalıdır.
