Splenic-gonadal fusion and adrenal cortical rest associated with bilateral cryptorchism
Abstract
A patient with bilateral cryptorchism had ectopic splenic tissue adherent to his left testicle and an adrenal cortical rest adherent to his right testicle. The embrylogic basis for these disorders is discussed and the literature reviewed.
