Abstract:
Testicular torsion, inflammation and tumor may be rare causes of scrotal mass in the neonates. Color Doppler ultrasonography is useful in differential diagnosis of these lesions. The authors experienced a case of testicular torsion mimicking inflammation and tumor in a baby with right testicular mass found at delivery. The initial diagnosis for this mass was a testicular inflammation and tumor based on findings of ultrasound examination and urine culture, but surgical exploratory findings of scrotum definitely showed testicular torsion. We report the case with a brief review of associated literatures.
