Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly primarily affecting males, characterized by an abnormal fusion of the spleen and the gonad. There are two primary forms: continuous, in which the normal spleen is directly connected to the gonad via a cord of fibrous or splenic tissue, or a combination of both, and discontinuous, in which ectopic splenic tissue fuses to the gonad without connection to the normal spleen. Continuous splenogonadal fusion is often associated with other congenital defects, such as cryptorchidism, limb anomalies, and micrognathia.

Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital anomaly of an aberrant accessory spleen-gonad connection. We present a rare case of continuous splenogonadal fusion in a full-term male with a left undescended testis, multiple congenital limb anomalies, and syndromic facies. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed the "Echidna Splenule," a snake-like intraperitoneal splenule coursing from the spleen along the left paracolic region and engulfing an atrophic intra-abdominal testis preventing spontaneous descent and distally herniating into the left open internal inguinal ring.

Background: Hepatogonadal fusion (HGF). It is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the fusion of the liver and gonads in the intrauterine period. We report the 7th hepatogonadal fusion case in the literature and its treatment.

The fusion of gonadal structures with internal organs is very rare. The close proximity between the left gonad and spleen during embryogenesis may result in splenogonadal fusion (SGF). Moreover, the trapping of hepatocyte-destined mesenchyme cells in gonads is defined as hepatogonadal fusion (HGF).
