Injuries in the genital region of boys are mostly caused by accidents. In this study, three cases of child abuse and one case suspicious for child abuse but explainable by a congenital undiscovered malformation are presented. Injuries or findings in the genital region are especially suspicious for child abuse, including sexual abuse. Because of the possible misinterpretation and the consequences of a false confirmation of a child abuse, an interdisciplinary cooperation between pediatrics, forensic experts, and pediatric urologist should be carried out in doubtful cases.
男孩生殖器区域的损伤主要由意外事故引起。本研究介绍了三例儿童虐待病例和一例疑似虐待但可由先天性未发现的畸形解释的病例。生殖器区域的损伤或发现尤其可疑为儿童虐待，包括性虐待。由于可能的误解以及错误确认儿童虐待的后果，在可疑病例中应进行儿科、法医专家和小儿泌尿科医生之间的跨学科合作。
