Neonatal testicular torsion suggesting diagnosis of testicular tumour in a newborn infant

İnfantlarda skrotal şişlik benign patolojilerden malignitelere kadar değişen çok geniş bir patolojik tablonun nonspesifik bir bulgusu olup testiküler torsiyon veya malignite gibi acil cerrahi gerektiren bir durumun göstergesi olabilir. Burada başka bir hastanede doğumun hemen ardından ultrasonografik olarak tespit edilen testiküler kitle ve AFP yüksekliği nedeni ile malignite şüphesi ile kliniğimize sevk edilen bir vakayı sunduk. Dört saat içerisinde bebeğe skrotal eksplorasyon yapıldı. Gecikmiş testiküler torsiyon tespit edildi ve orşiktomi yapıldı. Spesimenin histopatolojik incelenmesinde hemorajik infarkt ve doku nekrosu tespit edildi. Skrotal utrasonografi testiküler kitleyi tanımlamada her zaman kullanılabilen bir teknik olmasına rağmen torsiyon ve tümör ayrımı renkli Doppler ultrasonografi inceleme ile daha kesin olarak yapılabilir. Her iki hastalığın tedavisinde de acil skrotal eksplorasyon yapılmalıdır

Testis tümör ile karıştırılan yenidoğan testis torsiyonu

Scrotal swelling in infants is a nonspecific sign of a wide range of pathologies, from benign diseases to malignancies and acute surgical emergencies such as testicular torsion and tumors. We present here a case with testicular mass shown in ultrasonography examination and high level of AFP were found shortly after birth in another hospital and was referred to our clinic as a case with the suspicion of testicular tumor. Within 4 hours, the infant underwent scrotal exploration. Delayed testis torsion was detected and orchiectomy was performed. Histopathology of the specimen revealed hemorrhagic infarction and necrosis. Scrotal USG can nearly always be used to confirm a testicular mass, whereas a differentiation between torsion and tumor can more accurately be done by Colour Doppler USG. An emergency exploration must be performed in the treatment of both diseases.
