Urgent scrotal exploration is performed for segmental testicular infarction (STI) because malignant testicular tumors cannot be ruled out even when STI is suspected on color Doppler ultrasound (US). This report describes the case of a 14-year-old boy who was successfully diagnosed with STI associated with epididymitis using color Doppler US to avoid radical orchiectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of STI being diagnosed during puberty and managed using color Doppler US and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging-guided conservative treatment.
