睾丸扭转主要发生于青春期，但年龄本身不应作为诊断的排除标准。缺乏对老年患者睾丸扭转的怀疑可能导致漏诊或延误诊断，从而危及睾丸挽救的机会。在这篇文章中，我们报告了一例55岁的中国男性睾丸扭转病例。（C）2017作者。爱思唯尔公司出版这是一个在CC BY-NC-ND许可证下的开放获取文章（http：//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/）。
Testicular torsion is predominantly a disease of adolescence, but age itself should not be an exclusion criterion for the diagnosis. A lack of suspicion for testicular torsion in older patients may result in a missed or delayed diagnosis which jeopardizes the chance of testicular salvage. In this article, we report a case of testicular torsion in a 55-year-old Chinese man. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
