TESTICULAR TORSION IN AN ADULT: A CASE REPORT OF AN UNCOMMON CLINICAL IN A 43-YEAR-OLD MALE

Objective: This report aims to document the occurrence of testicular torsion in adult males, explicitly highlighting a case involving a 43-year-old man. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining awareness of this condition within the productive age group. Case(s) Presentation: We present a rare unilateral late-onset left testicular torsion case in a 43-year-old male. Testicular torsion is predominantly observed in youth and teenagers, making its diagnosis infrequent in mature individuals. The patient experienced acute testicular pain along with atypical symptoms, which are crucial for the accurate diagnosis of adult testicular torsion. Discussion: Testicular torsion is the most prevalent surgical emergency concerning the testis, primarily affecting younger populations. This case underscores that adult males are also susceptible to this condition, necessitating a high index of suspicion among healthcare providers. Notably, acute testicular pain in adults may not always manifest in a typical manner, complicating timely diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion: This case serves as an essential reminder for healthcare professionals to remain vigilant regarding the potential for testicular torsion in adult males, particularly those in the productive age group. Early recognition and intervention are critical to preventing complications associated with ischemia, underscoring the need for heightened awareness and prompt assessment in such scenarios. By doing so, healthcare providers can significantly improve outcomes for affected patients. Keywords: Adult, testicular torsion, left testicular.
