Torsion of testis with testicular necrosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1480391336

A condition characterised as being when the spermatic cord (from which the testicle is suspended) twists, cutting off the testicle's blood supply with a rapid onset of testicular pain. In this situation, the lack of blood supply results in cell tissue death within the testicle.
