【 摘 要 】

Segmental testicular infarction is a rare clinical condition most often seen as acute unilateral scrotal pain . Segmental testicular infarction should be suspected in patients with scrotal pain; when an ultrasound shows hypoechoic or mixed echogenic lesions within the testicular parenchyma; contrast-enhanced ultrasound shows a little or no contrast filling, along with negative multiple tumor markers. This report presents a 60-year-old male who presented with sudden onset of left testicular pain with no apparent cause. Emergency Doppler ultrasound , contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and laboratory tests showed findings characteristic of Segmental testicular infarction. The patient the final diagnosis was based on a combination of clinical findings (regression or cessation of symptoms, no tumor marker abnormalities, no palpable testicular mass) and ultrasound evidence of improvement (size reduction or shape change from oval to wedge) during a follow-up period of at least 3 months.
