INTRODUCTION Scrotal swelling can present from early childhood to old age with the varying causes presenting widely across the age spectrum. The presentation can range from incidental finding to severe illness. A careful history and physical exam can distinguish from benign pathology like hydrocele to potentially morbid conditions like Fournier’s gangrene to life-threatening conditions like testicular cancer. In certain emergency conditions like torsion of testis, timely identification and early intervention can save testis. We present our experience in managing a wide range of scrotal pathologies at our institute.
