Abstract

Congenital anomalies of the scrotum are uncommon and among them the ectopic scrotum is extremely rare. Only one case of ectopic scrotum has been recorded in Korea. In 1993 we experienced a case of unilateral ectopic scrotum with no other congenital abnormalities in a 22-year-old man. His left scrotum was normal in position and size, and contained a normal palpable testis. There was definite median raphe but no scrotal development to the right of this line. The penis showed externally normal appearance. A large sac of skin, having the typical hyperpigmented wrinkled appearance of normal scrotum, was overlying right inguinal ring. The sac contained a normally developed testis.
