title: Scrotal cystic hygroma in a 13-year-old boy.
abstract: We describe a patient with cystic hygroma, in a rare location (scrotum). The hygroma was diagnosed incidentally after injury to the scrotum in a 13-year-old boy. The diagnostic methods used, the characteristics of this type of tumor, its treatment and its clinical course are described. We suggest that cystic hygroma be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of other more frequent causes of scrotal masses.
