title: Massive scrotal haematoma: a complication of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
abstract: Scrotal haematoma is an unusual complication following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. It carries significant morbidity and causes extreme discomfort to the patient. We describe the case of a 75-year-old diabetic man who developed this complication. Recommendations are made for investigation and management of this problem, which is so infrequently encountered in clinical practice.
