Testicular torsion - neonatal, delayed

Discussion:

This case demonstrates established testicular infarction in a neonate with calcification of the tunica albuginea.  In retrospect, the history of left testicular enlargement at birth suggests an acute perinatal torsion with a delayed diagnosis.

Compare this case with a case of testicular torsion diagnosed at birth.  Despite markedly different appearances, the affected testis was non-viable at surgery in both cases.
