Abstract:
This study examined the differential diagnosis of inguinoscrotal masses and true hermaphroditism as well as incarcerated inguinal hernia in the differential diagnosis of abnormal inguinoscrotal masses. Inguinoscrotal masses are a rare presentation of true hermaphroditism. A child with an inguinoscrotal mass of the right groin and penoscrotal hypospadias was diagnosed. Our case suggested that abnormal inguinoscrotal masses occur in true hermaphroditism as well as incarcerated inguinal hernia. These congenital anomalies should be considered in the differential diagnosis of inguinoscrotal masses of the groin.
