Meconium periorchitis, a rare condition caused by intrauterine gastrointestinal perforation, can present as a scrotal mass in infants. Early diagnosis is crucial to avoid unnecessary orchiectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Meconium periorchitis is a rare complication of intrauterine gastrointestinal perforation.
  • It can manifest in neonates and infants, presenting diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • Two cases of meconium periorchitis in infants presented with scrotal masses.
  • Symptoms included isolated masses or masses with pain and inflammation.
  • Intraoperative histology aided conservative surgical decisions in one case.

Findings:

  • Scrotal masses are the sole manifestation in approximately half of meconium periorchitis cases.
  • This presentation can mimic testicular tumors, complicating diagnosis.
  • Intraperitoneal calcifications, when present, facilitate diagnosis and may allow for non-surgical management.

Implications:

  • Unfamiliarity with meconium periorchitis can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary orchiectomy.
  • Awareness of this condition is vital for appropriate clinical management in infants with scrotal masses.
  • Accurate diagnosis can prevent surgical overtreatment and ensure conservative management when indicated.
