Abstract

A significant proportion of abdominal and pelvic injuries in men are the genitourinary system, which involves the external genitalia more than the others. Due to the specific anatomical position of the external genitourinary and the participation of men in activities such as martial arts, violent interaction and war activities, the incidence of injury is higher than women. In this case report, we report the traumatic incident of an 11-year-old boy whose boxing bag fell while moving, hooked his perineum and exit from the suprapubic.
