AB The type of accessory spleens that associate with the gonad called Splenogonadal fusion (SGF). A 3 years old boy was referring to King Saud Medical City by his parent with a left scrotal swelling that was noticed since one year before presentation. Tc99m-SC is a superior tool when it comes to the sensitivity and specificity. The nature of Tc99m-SC is targeting three organs liver/spleen/bone marrow. In other words, the only organs Tc99m-SC can be visualized these three organs. Furthermore, if there are any tissues anywhere such as; accessory spleens can be identified without even biopsy the tissue or orchiectomy. According to this case, the patient was done laparoscopy, the masses were removed and orchiectomy was avoided. The histopathological confirmed normal splenic tissue was matching the nuclear medicine report.
