Successful conservative management of isolated hemiscrotal agenesis: case report

Hemiscrotal agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by unilateral absence of scrotal skin with preserved midline raphe. Optimal management, particularly conservative approaches in isolated cases without cryptorchidism, remains poorly defined. We report a 5-year-old boy with normal 46,XY karyotype presenting for circumcision revision, who had isolated right hemiscrotal agenesis, penile torsion, and excess preputial skin. The right testis was palpable subcutaneously with adequate perineal space. After penile detorsion and circumcision revision, sufficient skin elasticity allowed comfortable testicular positioning without reconstruction. Pubertal follow-up showed excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes, highlighting the value of individualized conservative management in selected cases.

Abstract

Hemiscrotal agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by unilateral absence of scrotal skin with preserved midline raphe. Optimal management, particularly conservative approaches in isolated cases without cryptorchidism, remains poorly defined. We report a 5-year-old boy with normal 46,XY karyotype presenting for circumcision revision, who had isolated right hemiscrotal agenesis, penile torsion, and excess preputial skin. The right testis was palpable subcutaneously with adequate perineal space. After penile detorsion and circumcision revision, sufficient skin elasticity allowed comfortable testicular positioning without reconstruction. Pubertal follow-up showed excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes, highlighting the value of individualized conservative management in selected cases.
