Sparganosis presenting as spermatic cord hydrocele in six-year-old boy.
Sparganosis is a zoonosis that can involve many different areas of the human body. Urogenital sparganosis usually presents as a palpable subcutaneous nodule in the groin, labia, or scrotum. It can also present as a tumor in the epididymis and testis. However, no previous cases have been reported of it presenting as a spermatic cord hydrocele.
