Persistent Genital Swelling after Hydrocele Ligation in a Patient Receiving Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

چکیده
We report a case of genital swelling in a patient receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. A physical examination did not identify any defect. Ultrasonography revealed a large hydrocele, and surgical repair brought resolution of the genital swelling. Two months later, however, the genital swelling had recurred and was not improved until peritoneal dialysis was replaced by hemodialysis 3 months later.
