title: Testicular dysmorphism associated with abdominoscrotal hydroceles during infancy.
abstract: Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) in infancy is a rarely reported condition. We present an 11-week-old infant who was born with massive scrotal enlargement. At exploration, he was found to have large bilateral ASHs and bilateral fusiform testes. Gross morphologic testicular changes associated with hydrocele have previously only been reported in adults. Our patient is the youngest to be reported with ASHs.
