title: Delayed rupture of the spleen presenting as a scrotal hematoma.
abstract: A case of a delayed rupture of the spleen presenting as a left scrotal mass (hematoma) is described. This interesting association was made with computerized axial tomographic scanning, ultrasound, and surgical exploration. When a scrotal mass is suspected to be a hematoma, abdominal pathology as a cause must be ruled out.
