Meconium periorchitis (MPO) is an uncommon entity associated with healed meconium peritonitis. The typical presentation is a soft hydrocele at birth which becomes harder in weeks as the meconium calcifies. A lack of awareness of this rare disease may lead to unnecessary surgery of scrotal masses. It can resolve spontaneously without compromising the testicle. Scrotal ultrasound is the mainstay of imaging and abdominal plain film is less sensitive but can help in the diagnosis. We report a case of a meconium periorchitis and discuss its radiological and histological features. We also review the relevant literature.
胎粪性附睾炎(MPO)是一种与已愈合的胎粪性腹膜炎相关的罕见病症。典型表现为出生时出现柔软的鞘膜积液,随着胎粪钙化,数周内会变硬。对这种罕见疾病缺乏认识可能导致对阴囊肿块进行不必要的手术。它可自行消退而不影响睾丸。阴囊超声是主要的影像学检查方法,腹部平片敏感性较低,但有助于诊断。我们报告一例胎粪性附睾炎病例,并讨论其放射学和组织学特征。我们还回顾了相关文献。
