We describe a patient with cystic hygroma, in a rare location (scrotum). The hygroma was diagnosed incidentally after injury to the scrotum in a 13-year-old boy. The diagnostic methods used, the characteristics of this type of tumor, its treatment and its clinical course are described. We suggest that cystic hygroma be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of other more frequent causes of scrotal masses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
