Abstract

The presence of accessory scrotum is a condition characterized by additional scrotal tissue with a normally developed scrotum. The condition is extremely rare and can be associated with a perineal lipoma. Herein, a case of accessory scrotum associated with a perineal lipoma is reported in a 4-day-old boy. He presented with a perineal mass and the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical excision and subsequent histological analysis. This is the first Korean report of an accessory scrotum associated with perineal lipoma. (Korean J Urol 2007;48:1096-1098)
