Traumatic testicular injuries are relatively uncommon. History, physical examination, clinical findings, and scrotal sonography with Doppler studies are important in diagnosing these injuries. The case presented is a classic example of testicular rupture with necrosis resulting from testicular trauma. In the presence of necrosis, orchiectomy is indicated. Findings consistent with testicular rupture, necrosis, and orchiectomy are discussed.

Key Words: testicle • testis • trauma • testicular rupture • testicular fracture
