Gross edematous swelling and increased blood flow in the scrotum overlying both testes with extension into the groins. Underlying testes show minor reactive hyperemia but there is no hydrocoele. No obvious gas in the soft tissues to indicate necrotizing fasciitis. No focal fluid collection to indicate abscess formation.
Case Discussion
Cellulitis of the scrotum is uncommon but clinically significant as it can progress to necrotizing fasciitis (Fournier) especially in the immunosuppressed or diabetics.
