[A 39-year old man with acute idiopathic scrotal oedema].
Acute idiopathic scrotal oedema is normally seen in young boys. It has an acute onset with a relatively painless scrotal swelling with subcutaneous oedema, which resolves in one to three days. Paraclinics and urine analysis are normal. We report here a rare case in an adult. The diagnosis and management is the same as for young boys. It is important to remember that it can occur in adults.
