Abstract:
Gas-forming infections in the genitourinary tract are usually associated with diabetes mellitus, and emphysematous pyelonephritis is a common disease among them. However, gas forming infection occurring in the scrotum is extremely rare. We experienced a case of gas-forming scrotal wall abscess in a 45-year-old diabetic man, who showed clinical symptoms mimicking acute epididymo-orchitis.
