[Scrotal panniculitis due to cold: a pseudo-tumoral lesion in the prepubertal child. Report of a case].
We reported a case of scrotal panniculitis in a 7 year-old boy after exposure to cold by swimming in cold sea water. Scrotal cold panniculitis is an unusual, confined to prepuberal patients. This entity must be known to avoid surgical exploration because injuries subside spontaneously within few weeks.
