Objective:

To report a rare case of suprainguinal ectopic scrotum in a pediatric patient and discuss its management and implications.

Key Findings:
  • The patient presented with an abnormal sac of scrotal skin in the suprainguinal region since birth.
  • Ultrasound revealed a solitary right kidney, indicating a potential association with ectopic scrotum, which is significant for understanding concurrent anomalies.
  • The surgical intervention resulted in a satisfactory cosmetic outcome and normal testicular positioning.
Interpretation:

Ectopic scrotum is a congenital anomaly that may be associated with other urogenital anomalies, necessitating careful diagnosis and management to prevent complications.

Limitations:
  • The case study is based on a single patient, limiting generalizability.
  • No genetic analysis was performed to explore potential underlying causes of concurrent anomalies, and long-term follow-up data is lacking.
Conclusion:

Timely surgical intervention is crucial for ectopic scrotum to prevent adverse effects on testicular development and ensure optimal outcomes.
