Abstract: case report E495Cite as: Can Urol Assoc J 2013;7(7-8):e495-8. http://dx.doi.org/10.5489/cuaj.316 Published online July 2, 2013. AbstractMeconium periorchitis (MPO) is an uncommon entity associated with healed meconium peritonitis. The typical presentation is a soft hydrocele at birth which becomes harder in weeks as the meconium calcifies. A lack of awareness of this rare disease may lead to unnecessary surgery of scrotal masses. It can resolve spontaneously without compromising the testicle. Scrotal ultrasoun… Show more

“…A patent processus vaginalis can permit intra‐abdominal free air to enter the scrotum, as in this case of necrotizing enterocolitis (Figure 15). Meconium periorchitis (a consequence of in utero bowel perforation) and lymphatic malformations are also described causes of scrotal masses 34 , 35 . Other entities such as Henoch‐Schönlein purpura (small‐vessel vasculitis) are rarer in the neonatal period, more commonly occurring in the 2‐ to 8‐year age range 36 …”

“…Dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales, se deberán considerar tumores de células germinales, como seminoma, teratomas o gonadoblastoma, tumores gonadales no germinales, torsión testicular, hernias inguinoescrotales y hematomas. 2 Como exámenes complementarios, el estudio de elección para el abordaje de esta patología es la ecografía, 7 ya que, además de su accesibilidad e inocuidad, permite diferenciar entre procesos testiculares y paratesticulares. Su limitación radica en que es un estudio dependiente del operador.…”

“…2,3 Debido a su baja prevalencia, no suele considerarse dentro de los diagnósticos probables, lo que lleva a cirugías, muchas veces innecesarias. 4 Su diagnóstico es clínico, apoyado en el diagnóstico por imágenes, esencialmente en la ecografía de partes blandas, que permite i d e n t i f i c a r l o s t e s t í c u l o s y l o s p r o c e s o s paratesticulares.…”
