| Abstract: | Remnants of testicular tissue at the end of a diminutive spermatic cord are the end result of testicular infarction from torsion of the testis or spermatic cord, occurring either in utero or unrecognized in the neonatal period. Idiopathic testicular artery thrombosis is another possibility. The majority of 20 specimens examined microscopically showed fibrosis, hemosiderin deposits, and calcification. Fixation of the opposite testis is recommended for these patients. |
