  • Title: Splenosis as a cause of testicular pain: laparoscopic management.
    Author: Koleski FC, Turk TM, Ouwenga M, Herrell SD, Borge MA, Albala DM.
    Journal: J Endourol; 1999 Jun; 13(5):373-5. PubMed ID: 10446800.
    Abstract:
    This is a case report of a 37-year-old man with severe testicular pain unresolved after conventional investigative and therapeutic methods. On the basis of his history of abdominal trauma followed by emergency splenectomy and evidence of functioning splenic tissue on a radionuclide scan, the diagnosis of splenosis was established. Laparoscopic exploration was done, and the initial diagnosis confirmed. Splenic tissue located at the right inguinal ring was removed. Testicular pain abated after the procedure.
