Resumen
Cuerpo extraño vegetal intratesticular

Se presenta un caso de cuerpo extraño de origen vegetal ubicado en el parénquima testicular. Se trata de un hallazgo anatomopatológico inesperado en una pieza de orquiectomía realizada con motivo de la atrofia testicular secundaria a una torsión de cordón muy evolucionada. El hallazgo de un material vegetal dentro del testículo es excepcional y, en nuestro conocimiento, no existen otras comunicaciones al respecto. Se discuten los aspectos anatomopatológicos, incluida la reacción granulomatosa presente, así como las cuestiones relacionadas con la atrofia testicular y el mecanismo de entrada del cuerpo extraño. La manipulación del escroto por parte de curanderos durante la fase de atrofia testicular explica la presencia de este material vegetal intratesticular.

Palabras clave:

Abstract
Vegetable foreign body in the testis

A vegetable foreign body located inside the testicular parenchyma is presented. It’s about an unexpected pathological finding in an orchidectomy sample, performed on account of testicular atrophy secondary to very advanced funicular twist. The finding of a vegetal material inside the testis is outstanding. In our knowledge we don’t know about another similar case. Pathologic aspects, including granulomatous reaction, regarding arguments of testicular atrophy and the foreign body irruption mechanism are discussed. The handling of the scrotum by paramedical people could justify his presence.

Key words:
