BACKGROUND Acute scrotal pain in children presents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Epididymitis has been considered uncommon in childhood. The clinical spectrum and therapeutic policy of the acute scrotum in children is continually being reassessed. OBJECTIVES To determine whether there has been an increase in the incidence of epididymitis in children and to advocate a more sele...

INTRODUCTION Our aim was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in patients with acute scrotum. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty patients with acute scrotum were evaluated and divided into 3 groups: 46 with acute epididymitis (group 1), 23 with spermatic cord torsion (group 2), and 51 with other noninflammatory c...

on ' Regeneration of the scrotum' published in the Lancet, April 14, 1945. A Muslim, aged 30 years, was admitted to the hospital for pain in the scrotum. He had noticed pain and a patch of redness in the scrotum on waking up one morning, and applied a poultice. Next day the patch sloughed out. leaving bare the corresponding area of the testes. The condition was growing rapidly worse and the pat...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the scrotum has been used as a valuable supplemental diagnostic modality in evaluating scrotal pathology, mostly recommended in cases of inconclusive sonographic findings. Because of the advantages of the technique, MR imaging of the scrotum may provide valuable information in the detection and characterization of various scrotal diseases. The technique may ac...

Microsporum gypseum is a geographically widespread geophilic fungus that infects animals and humans. M. gypseum infection on the scrotum is very rare and can be easily misdiagnosed because of a lack of inflammatory reaction. Here we describe a patient with pseudomembranous-like tinea of the scrotum resulting from M. gypseum.

Differential diagnosis of acute scrotum especially with acute epididymis and testicular torsion should be made promptly, as testicular torsion is a true surgical emergency of the highest order. In this manuscript, two demonstrative cases introducing with acute scrotum and diagnosed with scintigraphy and color Doppler ultrasonography were presented to recall the knowledge.

Accessory scrotum and congenital perineal lipoma are unusual congenital anomalies. Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare congenital disorder of the lung. There are five types of CPAM, each with a different clinical presentation and prognosis. The present report involves a case of type 2 CPAM associated with accessory scrotum and congenital perianal lipoma.

Cryptorchidism (translated hidden testis) is the most common genital abnormality of childhood, refers to the incomplete descent of the testicle into dependent scrotum. The undescended testicles (UT) can be located anywhere along the path of regular descent between the kidney and just outside of scrotal inlet. It is also known as UT because the majority of testicles that do not migrate completel...

was invaginated into the scrotum for a short distance. He applied to some native quack who sewed up the scrotal wound, and left the penis in its abnormal position within the scrotum. The wound healed except at the bottom of the scrotum just at the part corresponding to the new position taken up by the glans-penis, where a fistulous opening was left through which the urine flowed out in full-siz...
