Abstract:
Ectopic scrotum is extremely rare and refers to the anomalous position of one hemiscrotum along the inguinal canal. Only two cases of ectopic scrotum have been reported in Korea. We experienced a case of unilateral ectopic scrotum with crytorchidism. The penis showed normal in appearence. The ectopic scrotum with cryptorchidism was found on the left inguinal area. And there was left ipsilateral renal agenesis on the ultrasonogram and DMSA renal scanning. We successfully performed scrotoplasty and orchiopexy.
