Abstract

Congenital scrotal agenesis is the rarest anomaly of scrotal development disorder and is characterized by the absence of scrotal rugae in the perineum between the penis and anus. We report here a case of hemiscrotal agenesis in a 2-year-old boy. To the best of our knowledge, our patient is the second reported case of hemiscrotal agenesis in the English literature.
