Abstract
Five cases of fat necrosis of the scrotum are presented. All occurred in stout or fat boys before puberty. The condition presents during the late winter or spring months of the year, and there is often a history of cold exposure during a swim a few days prior to the onset of scrotal pain. The lumps in the scrotum are usually bilateral and symmetrical. There is a remarkable lack of constitutional disturbance. Hypothermia is suggested as an important cause of fat necrosis of the scrotum in children. Pathologically the lesion resembles fat necrosis as seen elsewhere in the body.
