UNILATERAL PERINEAL ECTOPIC SCROTUM RESULTING IN DEBILITATING ORCHALGIA: DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Congenital scrotal anomalies are unusual, with ectopic and accessory scrota being the most rare. Scrotal ectopia, which has been described as resulting from an abnormal migration of the ipsilateral labioscrotal fold, is usually obvious and easily diagnosed in infancy.1 An 18-year-old male remained without diagnosis until exercise induced orchalgia led to the identification of an ectopic scrotum, which was a factor in the origin of the discomfort. The diagnosis and management of this case are described.
