title: Giant unilateral abdominoscrotal hydrocele.
abstract: We report a rare type of hourglass-shaped hydrocele in an infant, which extended through the inguinal canal with a large intra-abdominal component. This entity is important to recognize in a patient with scrotal swelling and an ipsilateral abdominal mass. The incidence of abdominoscrotal hydrocele may be higher than previously reported.
