During the operation, "spleen-like" tissueattached to the gonad induced splenogonadal fusion, whichwas confi rmed by laparoscopy. The patient also had a shortright femur, hip dysplasia and a syndromic face.Conclusion: Splenogonadal fusion anomaly shouldbe considered in the evaluation of undescended testis,especially in patients with facial and limb deformities.展开更多
