Testicular torsion is rotation of the testis resulting in reduced to no blood flow.
General
Clinical:
- Pain.
Treatment:
- Surgery.
Gross
- Brown/black or red - due to necrosis/hemorrhage.
Image:
Microscopic
Features:
- Intratubular hemorrhage.
- Desquamation of germ cells.
- +/-Necrosis of germ cells.
DDx:
- Testicular tumour (e.g. germ cell tumour).[1]
- Intratubular germ cell neoplasia (incidental finding).
Grading
Adapted from Mikuz:[2]
| Grade | Features |
|---|---|
| 1 | intertubular edema, limited blood extravasation, desquamation of germ cells |
| 2 | diffuse intertubular hemorrhage, focal necrosis of the germ cells |
| 3 | diffuse infarction of parenchyma |
Sign out
Right Testicle, Orchitectomy: - Diffuse intratubular hemorrhage and focal desquamation of germ cells. - Negative for intratubular germ cell neoplasia or malignancy.
