Splenic‐gonadal fusion of the continuous type in an adult female

The first case of a continuous type splenic‐gonadal fusion in an adult female is described. This extremely rare anomaly occurs more often in the male where the abnormality may be associated with skeletal abnormalities or cryptorchi‐dism. The few cases of splenic‐gonadal fusion in the female previously described were found mainly in infants.
