Diagnostic Approach and Management of a Unilateral Total Ectopy of the Scrotum

Abstract

Introduction: Total unilateral ectopy of the scrotum can be defined by the abnormal congenital anatomical position of the scrotum and its contents. The aim of the study is to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of a total unilateral ectopy of the right scrotum. Methods: This is a clinical observation of a 46-year-old patient with a right abdominal mass evolving from birth. Analyzing the cluster of arguments clinically, operatively and anatomopathologically, allowed us to retain the diagnosis of a total unilateral ectopy of the right scrotum. The informed consent of the patient was obtained before the use of the images for scientific purposes. Conclusion: the unilateral total ectopy of the right scrotum is a rare congenital malformation of the external genitalia, which clinical diagnosis is difficult. Its management is surgical.
