A 12-year-old boy presented to the emergency department complaining that he had "magnets stuck in [his] scrotum." Examination revealed a wedge of scrotal skin with a pit on each side without visible objects. A radiograph confirmed intrascrotal foreign bodies. Surgical exploration was required to remove the magnets. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of a foreign body in a child leading to pressure necrosis and erosion into the genital tract.
