splenogonadal fusion

Roughly, only 150 cases of splenogonadal fusion have been documented.

In 1883 Bostroem was the first to describe a rare condition known as splenogonadal fusion.

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital malformation that involves an abnormal connection between the spleen and the gonad.

Splenogonadal fusion (Eugen Bostroem)

Splenogonadal fusion has been classified into two types; continuous, where there is a direct connection between spleen and gonad; and discontinuous, where ectopic splenic tissue is attached to the gonad, but there is no connection to the spleen.
