A Case of Torsion of Epididymal Appendix in Adolescence

Abstract

A 20-year-old man with right scrotal pain underwent surgery under a diagnosis of acute scrotum. The right testis and spermatic cord were normal, but there was a remarkably reddish and swollen nodule with a pedicle at the head of the right epididymis. Based on pathological findings, this case was diagnosed as torsion of the epididymal appendix.
