Abstract

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly characaterized as the fusion of the spleen and a gonad. The first report of this anomaly was in 1883 and only 160 cases have been reported to date. As far as we know, this is the first reported case of splenogonadal fusion in this country.

비성선 융합(Splenogonadal fusion)은 드문 선천성 기형으로 비장과 성선의 비정상적 융합으로 나타난다. 1883년 처음 보고된 이후에 지금까지 160예 정도가 보고되었다. 그러나 우리 나라에서 보고된 환자는 없었다. 이에 본 저자들은 33세 남자에게 우연히 발견된 비성선 융합 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
