Description
Angela Chen and co-authors present, in 2026, an unusual urology case where testicular torsion occurred together with a large scrotal abscess. Torsion twists the spermatic cord and cuts off blood flow, demanding urgent treatment. Classic signs are sudden severe pain, a high-riding testicle and loss of a reflex, most often in newborns or adolescents.
Their patient was a 63-year-old man with two weeks of worsening scrotal pain and swelling. That slow course is atypical, and infection provided a competing explanation. The authors use the case to show why torsion stays hard to spot in older adults, where it is less expected and presentations vary. Risk factors such as anatomical variants, trauma, tumours and family history are reviewed for clinicians.
