Abstract
Testicular torsion is a urological emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and management. Delayed presentation may lead to testicular necrosis and, in rare cases, severe infectious complications such as liquefactive necrosis of the testis with abscess formation. We report the case of a 71-year-old diabetic patient who presented with neglected left testicular torsion complicated by liquefactive necrosis of the testis. The patient underwent emergency surgical exploration, left orchiectomy, drainage, and necrosectomy. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and the potential for severe infectious complications in delayed cases.
