Segmental testicular infarct with an associated testicular artery aneurysm: Case report of a rare clinical entity.

ABSTRACT: Segmental testicular infarct is a rare clinical entity and can be a diagnostic challenge. Although cases are often idiopathic, underlying etiologies can include testicular torsion, epididymo-orchitis, trauma, vasculitis, and hypercoagulable states. Once suspected, an underlying testicular neoplasm should be excluded. We present a case of a 43-year-old male who developed acute onset left sided scrotal pain. A diagnostic scrotal ultrasound showed a focal, heterogeneous region in left testicle with absent focal Doppler signal, concerning for a segmental testicular infarction. There was no history of trauma, urinary symptoms, sexually transmitted diseases, or constitutional symptoms. Work up for associated underlying etiologies was negative.
