AB  - It is extremely rare that a documented case of blunt trauma 
results in rupture of a testicular tumor. We present the 
case of a 24-year-old man who was crushed by a tree who 
developed spontaneous testicular rupture. At surgical 
exploration, he was found to ultimately have a mixed germ 
cell tumor of the testicle. This case illustrates the importance 
of physical examination, patient clinical history, and scrotal 
ultrasound in the management of scrotal trauma. In this 
instance, the testicular mass ruptured and lead to signifi cant 
testicular hemorrhage.
