Abstract

Intratesticular abscess is a rare finding associated with advanced or untreated epididymo-orchitis, often in immunocompromised patients. Implicated pathogens can be spread hematogenously, by urine reflux in dysfunctional voiders, through aberrant mesonephric duct anatomy, or via a patent processus vaginalis in the setting of an intra-abdominal infection. A testicular-sparing surgical approach is often used in prepubertal populations and is associated with positive outcomes. We present the case of a 6-year-old male with a polymicrobial intratesticular abscess that was successfully managed with antibiotics, operative incision and drainage of abscess cavity, and primary wound closure with drain placement.
