Scrotal enlargement in boys with a history of scrotal trauma: two unusual findings.
The presentation of a boy with an acutely painful scrotum is often associated with a history of trauma. Two recent patients with a history of scrotal trauma and an enlarged hemiscrotum were found on surgical exploration to have unusual causes for the scrotal enlargement. In the first case, there was bleeding from omentum in an incarcerated inguinal hernia, and in the second, there was bleeding into a scrotal cystic lymphangioma. Fewer than 40 cases of scrotal lymphangioma have been reported.
