異所性陰嚢の1例

Abstract

A rare case of unilateral ectopic scrotum was reported. A 4-month-old boy was admitted to Osaka University Hospital on July 19, 1971 because of an anomaly of external genitalia. The right half of scrotum was normal in position and size containing normal testis, whereas the left half was located in the inguinal position. The penis was normal in appearance with the median raphe rotated 900 to the left. The condition was associated with left inguinal hernia and deformity of left foot. Z-plasty for transposition of the scrotal skin to the normal position and orchidopexy were performed on July 26, 1971. Post-operative course was uneventful, and the result of operation was successful. Six reported cases of ectopic scrotum including our own were reviewed and discussed.
