Abstract

We report a rare case of a 27-year-old man presenting with an acute scrotum with simultaneous occurrence of testicular tumor and contralateral torsion. Preoperative imaging demonstrated the testicular missed torsion, yet findings were equivocal with regard to the testicular tumor. On scrotal exploration the left testis was found to be ischemic due to threefold rotation. The right testis was not identifiable, being composed of numerous necrotic lesions. Frozen section suggested malignancy, hence high right orchiectomy was performed. Histologic examination of the right testis showed mixed germ cell tumor, containing all the subtypes. To our knowledge no similar case has been reported.
