Radiology of Unusual Pediatric Scrotal Anatomy and Pathology
Purpose or Case Report: While hydroceles, patent processus vaginalis, inguinal hernias, varicoceles, epididymitis, orchitis, torsion of testes and appendages are common in pediatric radiological practice, other pathology and anatomical variants are unusual and may not be included in every day practice. We composed a pictorial guide of a wide variety of variants and diseases for education and reference. Methods & Materials: Illustrative cases of ectasia of rete testes, testicular adrenal rests, tunica albuginea cyst, scrotal calcinosis, abdominoscrotal hydrocele, hematocele, meconium periorchitis, testicular epidermoid cyst, calcifying Sertoli cell tumor, lymphoma and paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma were chosen from over ten years of imaging at our institution. Results: Reviewing these cases provides an experience of a wide variety of unusual scrotal anatomy and pathology and improves the accuracy of interpretation. Conclusions: A pictorial review of a wide variety of unusual scrotal anatomy and pathology improves the accuracy of interpretation.
