Abstract
Intra-scrotal testicular torsion of a seminoma is extremely rare and has been reported scarcely in literature. On the other hand testicular torsion by itself is rare in old age as well. We report a 63-year-old male who was presented to our Emergency Department with a right scrotal swelling and pain for 1 week. The patient had intra-scrotal testicular torsion of a seminoma which was overlooked initially by Doppler ultrasound, progression of symptoms led to a computed tmomgraphy scan which showed a testicular torsion. Intra-operative findings showed a torsed right testis with completely engorged cord. Right radical orchiectomy was done and indecently histopathology revealed a classical seminoma. Urologist should be aware and more vigilant of testicular torsion as a presentation of malignancy in old age especially with the presence of diagnostic limitations.
