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)

  Fig. 2 Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a perineal lipoma (L) with similar signal intensity to subcutaneous fat on the T1-weighted image (A) and decreased signal intensity on the T1-weighted fat suppression image (B).

  Fig. 3 The perineal mass reveals mature fat cells consisting of varying sizes and shapes of cells (A) (H&E, ×100) and the overlying skin of the mass reveals bundles of muscle fibers in the dermis (B) (H&E, ×200).
